Early today, a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia reversed a detention order entered by a district court judge and remanded the case for a further detention hearing for Eric Munchel and Lisa Eisenhart. Munchel has been identified as a member of the Oath Keepers, and Eisenhart is his mother and a vocal proponent of the January 6 protests.

The decision was 2-1, and the panel of appeals court judges included a Clinton appointee, an Obama appointee, and a Trump appointee. The Trump appointee, Judge Katsas, dissented, but only on the basis that he would have remanded the case back to the district court judge with an order that the defendants be released on bond, whereas the two-judge majority was sending the case back for further proceedings consistent with the Appeals Court’s order.

So it was really a 3-0 loss by the government on the lower court decision to hold the defendants without bail pending trial — something the government has asked for in a number of Jan. 6 protest cases.
