GOVERNMENT’S MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF PRETRIAL DETENTION

29 APRIL 2026

Case No. 1:26-mj-00080 v. COLE TOMAS ALLEN, Defandant

The United States of America, by and through its attorney, the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, respectfully submits this memorandum in support of its oral motion to detain defendant Cole Tomas Allen pending trial. The defendant attempted to kill the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. The crimes with which the defendant is charged are among the most serious in the United States Code, and the evidence of his guilt is overwhelming.

He faces a possible sentence of life in prison (if convicted of 18 U.S.C. § 1751(c)) and a mandatory minimum sentence of ten years consecutive to any other sentence imposed (if convicted of 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(iii)). The defendant’s actions were premeditated, violent, and calculated to cause death. Considering the relevant statutory factors, there is no condition or combination of conditions that will reasonably assure the safety of other people or the community if the defendant were released from custody. The Court should detain the defendant pending trial.
