A Richmond judge revoked the $15,000 bond set for an undocumented immigrant facing a weapons charge after police alleged he was connected to foiled mass shooting plot on the Fourth of July.

Lawyers on both sides agreed to revoke the bond of 52-year-old Julio Alvardo-Dubon, who appeared in court wearing a blue jumpsuit and orange face mask. In the brief hearing, attorneys noted an immigration detainer is pending for Alvardo-Dubon, an indicated federal authorities intend to take custody of him.

Alvardo is not in the country legally, according to court documents. He is facing a felony charge of firearm possession by a non-citizen.

The mass shooting plot alleged by Richmond police was not mentioned in court Monday, and lawyers on both sides declined to comment further on the case.
