List of cases of the January 6 United States Capitol attack

A list of breach cases during the January 6 United States Capitol attack in 2021 is being kept updated by the US Attorney's Office, District of Columbia. BuzzFeed has a searchable table of the plea deals.

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. By early September, there were over 600 federal defendants, 10% of whom had pled guilty. By October 13, there were 100 guilty pleas. By the second anniversary of the attack, nearly 1,000 people had been federally charged.

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." 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."

Groups of defendants

Of the six individuals, three of them self-identified in Telegram chats as members of the Three Percenters.

One of the charged, the former police chief of the city of La Habra, California, was charged with obstructing law enforcement during a civil disorder and unlawful possession of a dangerous weapon on Capitol grounds. Two members of the Three Percenters were additionally charged with tampering with documents or proceedings related to their deletion of Telegram chats and content to avoid detection by law enforcement.
