On the first day of his second term, President Donald Trump issued a blanket pardon for all January 6th attendees that were at the US Capitol and had faced a weaponized Department of Justice under Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Over 1500 J6ers were set free or had their convictions pardoned, albeit 14 men who were given a commutation rather than a full pardon. Those included several members of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, like Stewart Rhodes, Kelly Meggs, and Dominic Pezzola.
However, despite the broad order to pardon “all individuals convicted of offenses related to events,” several J6ers remained incarcerated.
Among those still incarcerated, according to The Prisoner’s Record Telegram channel, Daniel Ball is still being held in Marion County, FL. Jeremy Brown, a former Green Beret Master Sergeant, is being held in Atlanta, GA. Edward Kelly is held in Blount County, TN, Ben Martin is still held in CA on derivative charges, and Taylor Taranto is being held in the DC Gulag.
