SEATTLE — A federal judge in Washington, D.C., on Monday issued an emergency stay halting the decision by a Seattle judge to release a self-proclaimed member of the far-right group Proud Boys from custody as he's prosecuted for his alleged role in the riot at the U.S. Capitol.

The decision by Chief U.S. District Court Judge Beryl Howell means Ethan Nordean, 30, will remain in federal custody pending trial. As of Monday morning, Nordean was being held at the Federal Detention Center at SeaTac.

The judge also ordered that Nordean be transferred to D.C. to appear in federal court for future proceedings.

The decision by Howell essentially freezes an earlier ruling in Seattle by Magistrate Judge Brian Tsuchida, who had rejected the argument by Department of Justice prosecutors who argued that Nordean, 30, should remain in custody until his case is heard.
