QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether a state bail order/condition of release is a protection order under 18 U.S.C. § 2266(5) for purposes of violating 18 U.S.C. § 2262, which criminalizes interstate travel with the intent to violate a protection order? 2. Whether the plain text of §§ 2262 and 2266 provide sufficient notice that violating a bail order/condition would violate federal law under §§ 2262 and 2266? 3.
