On Jan. 6, 2021, hundreds of supporters of President Donald Trump broke through police lines and stormed the U.S. Capitol, forcing a panicked evacuation of top political leaders and threatening the country’s peaceful transfer of power. The violent attack was an act of domestic terrorism, according to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Arrests made:More than 725 defendants have been arrested in nearly all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Damage toll:

Approximately 140 members of law enforcement suffered injuries in the attack, many at the hands of rioters wielding pepper spray, metal pipes and American flags fashioned into clubs. Those injuries included brain damage and crushed spinal discs.

Five people ultimately died during or soon after the riot, though not all their deaths have been directly attributed to the events that day. One woman, Ashli Babbitt, was shot and killed by Capitol police.

More than $1.5 million of damage was done to the Capitol building.

In public comments and court documents, the Justice Department has roughly put the cases into three categories:

1. Those who conspired over days, weeks and even months to attack the Capitol.

2. Those who allegedly violently attacked police, often with the use of weapons.

3. The remainder who breached the building as part of the mob, but did not commit other crimes.

To date, 52 defendants have been charged with conspiracy. And 176 defendants have been charged with violence.

The FBI continues to seek the public’s help in identifying more than 350 individuals believed to have committed violent acts on the Capitol grounds, including over 250 who assaulted police officers.

As of January 2022:

So far, 163 people have pleaded guilty to one or more charges stemming from the riot. Judges have handed down sentences to 71 people, and 42% of those people who have been sentenced received prison time. The average prison sentence across all defendants who pleaded guilty is 130 days. One defendant had his charges dismissed.

At least 119 defendants have alleged ties to known extremist or fringe organizations, such as the pro-Trump conspiracy theory QAnon; the Proud Boys, a far-right group known for street violence; the Oath Keepers, an anti-government group; and the Three Percenters, a part of the anti-government militia movement. A large majority of those charged, however, have no known connections to established extremist groups.

Sentencings:

Approximately 70 federal defendants have had their cases adjudicated and received sentences for their criminal activity on Jan. 6. Thirty-one have been sentenced to periods of incarceration. Eighteen have been sentenced to a period of home detention, and the other defendants have been sentenced to probation with no term of incarceration.

Public Assistance:

Citizens from around the country have provided invaluable assistance in identifying individuals in connection with the Jan. 6 attack. The FBI continues to seek the public’s help in identifying more individuals believed to have committed violent acts.

Additionally, the FBI currently has 16 videos of suspects wanted for violent assaults on federal officers and one video of two suspects wanted for assaults on members of the media on January 6, 2021 and is seeking the public’s help to identify them.
