Jan 24, 2025, 05:58 PM
Federal Judge Amit Mehta has barred Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and seven other Jan. 6 defendants from entering Washington, D.C., and the U.S. Capitol without court approval. This order comes after President Donald Trump commuted their sentences, including Rhodes's 18-year prison term for orchestrating the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. The Department of Justice, led by Acting U.S. Attorney Ed Martin, has requested that Judge Mehta dismiss the terms of supervised release for Rhodes and the other defendants, arguing that these terms are covered by Trump's commutation.
