I’m just now getting up to speed on the problems at DOC in the District.
This is UNBELIEVABLE.
These defendants now have a civil rights suit against DC.
The pardon’s were dated yesterday – 1/20. Any lawful authority to keep a defendant in custody ended at 11:59 pm.
Beyond that it was an “unlawful seizure” in violation of the 4th Amendment.
Defendants are housed at DOC under a contract with the U.S. Marshal’s Service because there is not U.S. Govt holding facility in DC.
The U.S. Marshal for the District of Columbia is a Presidential Appointee, and the USMS is part of the Justice Department. So, what is apparently happening now is the Trump DOJ has directed the USMS to go into the DOC and physically remove those J6 defendants still being held.
If I was giving the instructions, I would have DOC officials removed in handcuffs and taken across the river to EDVA to be held pending a investigation into Sec. 242 violations.
As Sen. Lee posted yesterday — maybe it is time for Congress to revisit “Home Rule” in DC.
Absolutely critical that the DC DOC be held accountable in this situation. This is the first of potentially many institutional rebellion actions against Pres. Trump's directives. This one must be stopped in its tracks and the personnel responsible for this violation perp walked.

The DC hell hole refuses to release 20 political prisoners, the US Marshalls have been notified of the situation by citizens. At this point it seems to be a kidnapping situation.

How about authorization to use deadly force? I mean, after all, there are bound to be people more resistant than the house staff at Mar a Lago.
