A Texas woman was sentenced to prison on Friday after she pleaded guilty to felony and misdemeanor charges related to her conduct during the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol. Her actions and the actions of others disrupted a joint session of the U.

Soon after being sworn-in on Monday, President Donald Trump signed a proclamation granting clemency to more than 1,500 charged in connection to the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. It had long been expected that Trump would grant clemency to many Jan.

The Jan. 6 defendants who received clemency included those convicted of violent and serious crimes, including assaulting police officers and seditious conspiracy. Mr. Trump also ordered the attorney general to dismiss all pending indictments related to the Capitol riot.

Former Proud Boys extremist group leader Enrique Tarrio and Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy convictions in the Jan.

Trump has repeatedly referred to convicted criminals of both violent and nonviolent offenses related to Jan. 6 as “hostages.”

Rhodes, the founder and leader of the national extremist and militia group Oath Keepers, was sentenced to 18 years in prison on May 25, 2023. He was convicted of seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding and tampering with documents and proceedings, according to a U.S. Department of Justice news release.

Stewart Rhodes, founder of the Oath Keepers, and Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys, have been released from prison after their lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio’s flight landed at Miami International Airport on Wednesday, soon after President Donald Trump pardoned him and more than 1,000 others convicted for their roles in the Jan.

The president issued a broad pardon for more than 1,500 defendants, including some who were charged and convicted of crimes against police officers.

The highest-profile defendant of the Capitol riot from North Texas left prison after President Donald Trump granted clemency to hundreds of January 6 defendants.

One of the men released, Christopher Grider, helped break the glass doors at the Speaker’s Lobby, which led to the deadly shooting of Ashli Babbitt.
