Judge authorizes involuntary feeding of jailed suspect in deadly National Guard shooting

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta issued an emergency order on Saturday authorizing the involuntary feeding of a jailed suspect currently refusing to eat. The individual is in custody on charges related to a shooting near the White House that resulted in the death of one National Guard member and the injury of another.

The court's decision allows authorities to provide nutrition to the suspect against his will while he remains incarcerated. The order follows the suspect's ongoing refusal to consume food while awaiting trial for the deadly attack.
