He may not make it into court. At least, not in the ususal way. It's worth noting that he has not been read his Miranda rights on the basis of what the US authorities call a "public safety exemption". This means that he does not have "the right to remain silent." Nor does he have the right to an attorney. Also, some Republicans are calling for him to be declared "an enemy combatant" ... this means ... well, you can figure it out.
