Men charged in Homeland Security impersonation plot released pending trial
CNN
The two men accused of impersonating federal agents will be released from jail, a federal judge ruled Tuesday after three days of marathon hearings where prosecutors and defense lawyers clashed over whether the men were operatives of a hostile government.
Magistrate Judge Michael Harvey said the Justice Department had not met the legal standard required to keep either Arian Taherzadeh or Haider Ali in jail.
"There is no evidence of foreign ties in this case," Harvey said, adding that there was no "suggestion that any foreign government that is hostile to the United States" was involved in the alleged plot.
