On August 13, 2025 Attorney Hagan’s team, including Daniel Kelly and Kyle DeSousa, also filed an emergency bail petition, along with a request to review the constitutionality of parts of the “dangerousness statute”, with the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court (SJC) on behalf of Kyle Culotta. So far there has been no action taken by the SJC.



“Somebody somewhere has to explain this,” said Jim Wallace Executive Director of Gun Owners Action League. “Every day we see incredibly violent criminals released on low cash bail, and here Kyle is declared a danger to the public and is detained without bail. While we fight every day in court for every aspect of the Second Amendment, this is the case that the entire 2A community nationwide should plant their flag on! Kyle’s only crime was crossing a state border. Twenty miles north, he is a free man.”

"Today’s hearing was nothing short of surreal. We walked into an American courtroom and made what can only be described as a lopsided argument in Kyle’s favor, yet the judge refused to reconsider his order detaining Kyle as a so-called ‘dangerous person.’ This is a decorated veteran who, in 51 years on earth, has never committed a crime — and didn’t commit one here either,” said Attorney Dan Hagan. “The most serious charges have already been dismissed. He isn’t accused of being assaultive or aggressive in any way and was fully cooperative with police. He stands accused only of possessing firearms without a license while moving to Massachusetts. The positive news is that today’s hearing was a free shot as we await the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court’s decision. We are optimistic the SJC will see it our way and finally get Kyle home. Kyle asked me to express how deeply thankful he is for all the support he has received, and he hopes his case will help bring about real change in Massachusetts law to prevent this kind of injustice in the future.”

Kyle’s fate now likely lays in the hands of the State’s Highest Court.
