Cesar Sayoc, an atomic bomb suspect, will be held without bail

US Judge Robert Lehrburger ruled after Sayoc, 56, appeared for the first time in a federal court in Manhattan after giving up a similar hearing in Miami on Friday.

US Attorney Jane Kim briefly outlined Sayoc's alleged danger to the public, as well as what she described as the likelihood of flight.

Federal Defender Sarah Baumgartel said she would not ask for a bail for Sayoc for the moment. Lehrburger appointed her to represent Sayoc after reviewing a financial affidavit in which the defendant stated that he was unable to hire a lawyer.

Sayoc, dressed in a blouse and dark blue prison pants, simply told the judge that he understood the charges against him and his rights.

Lehrburger scheduled a hearing on Nov. 12 during which Sayoc and his lawyer could challenge the federal government's five-count complaint. However, the judge warned that federal prosecutors could unravel and file an indictment against Sayoc before the next hearing.

Federal investigators captured Sayoc on October 26 after associating fingerprints and DNA evidence discovered on some of the explosive devices that Sayoc allegedly sent to former President Barack Obama, to the former -Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, to former Vice President Joe Biden and comedian-director Robert De. Niro, billionaire investor and philanthropist George Soros, the network of information by CNN cable and other Trump brand reviews.

The investigators recovered all devices before they could explode and no one was injured.

At the time of his arrest in Plantation, Florida, just west of Fort Lauderdale, Sayoc was traveling in a white van covered with stickers supporting Trump and rejecting the Democratic critics of the president.

The federal authorities have accused the suspect of having perpetrated a terrorist attack on the national territory, accusing him of five federal crimes, including the transport of an explosive between states, the sending of 39; an explosive by mail and sending threats to the former president.

Sayoc incurs a maximum sentence of 48 years imprisonment if he is found guilty of the current criminal offenses. However, US Manhattan prosecutor Geoffrey Berman told a court last week that the suspect is likely to face further charges as a result of the ongoing federal investigation.

Sayoc has scheduled pipeline shipments as early as July, Berman told the court, citing evidence that the suspect had searched the internet to find the address of his potential targets.

The investigators also discovered copies of return address labels bearing the misspelled name of Florida Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, as well as identical labels found on the packages that the suspect allegedly used to send the explosive devices.
