ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) –The wife of the Orlando, Florida, nightclub shooter must remain in jail, at least for the time being, a federal judge in Florida ruled Thursday, a day after a magistrate judge in California said she could be released.
A day earlier, a federal magistrate judge in Oakland, California, ordered Salman's release as early as Friday, saying it's "debatable" whether the government has enough evidence to convict her.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu also said Salman, 31, is not dangerous and there is no proof she has ties to the Islamic State group or holds extremist views.
Salman's husband, Omar Mateen, pledged allegiance to the Islamic State during the attack at the Pulse gay nightclub on June 12.
Salman's attorney, Linda Moreno, said the motion seemed a rehash of what was argued in the California courtroom.
