Nashville — A federal judge on Sunday blocked the release of a Tennessee man authorities say carried flexible plastic handcuffs during the riot at the U.S. Capitol. U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell for the District of Columbia also ordered that he be brought to Washington for further proceedings.
Howell set aside an order issued Friday by a judge in Tennessee concerning the release of Eric Munchel, of Nashville, that cleared the way for Munchel's release as early as Monday. Howell stayed the lower court's order pending a review.

WUSA says the emergency appeal of Frensley's order filed by U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Michael Sherwin included an allegation that wasn't presented in Friday's hearing: that Munchel had been part of a group that had assaulted and threatened a Bloomberg reporter they had mistakenly identified as being "antifa."

A federal judge on Monday ruled that Lisa Eisenhart, a woman who federal authorities say broke into the U.S. Capitol alongside her son in a violent mob on Jan. 6, could be released from federal custody as early as Tuesday night.
But on Tuesday, upon review of the government's appeal of the release order issued by U.S. Magistrate Judge Jeffrey Frensley, the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., blocked the Nashville-based judge's order.
That means Eisenhart will remain in custody and will be transported to the District of Columbia for further proceedings, according to information from the Office of the U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee.
I’m pretty sure they’re going to be restrained by a bit more than FlexiCuffs as they’re transported back to Washington, D.C. under federal custody.
