By February 1, 2021, 228 people from 39 U.S. states and the District of Columbia (D.C.) had been charged with federal or D.C. offences or both.[3] By early September, there were over 600 federal defendants, 10% of whom had pled guilty.[4] By October 13, there were 100 guilty pleas.[2] By the second anniversary of the attack, nearly 1,000 people had been federally charged.[5] By August 2024, more than 1,400 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the attack and over 900 of them have been convicted.[6]
According to Politico, dozens of defendants "deemed to be dangerous, flight risks or at high risk of obstructing justice were ordered held without bond. D.C. jail officials later determined that all Capitol detainees would be placed in so-called restrictive housing."[7] Senator Elizabeth Warren criticized this decision, referring to it as solitary confinement, which she argued "is a form of punishment that is cruel and psychologically damaging."[7]

Founder of anti-police brutality and pro-racial justice group Insurgence USA. Arrested briefly before being released.

He had previously claimed that he was there to document the actions of the protestors, stating that he was only pretending to be a participant to blend in. Pundits such as Rudy Giuliani and Mo Brooks seized upon his arrest to amplify claims about the involvement of the left in the riot. Despite being called a Black Lives Matter activist and left-wing activist, Black Lives Matter-Utah has denied he is a member, and some left-wing activists have treated him with suspicion in the past due to him stirring trouble and his brother being a pro-Trump activist.[168][169] The arrest document stated he had made a statement outside the Capitol about "burning this shit down" and "ripping Trump out of office" during a speech he made in August 2020 while pointing to the White House.[170][171]
