D.C. JUDGE STANDS IN THE WAY OF J6ERS RELEASE

Recent developments indicate that some January 6 defendants are facing delays in their release from a Washington, D.C. jail, despite President Donald Trump’s executive order offering pardons, dismissals, or commutations[1]. While two brothers were released on January 21, 2025, reports suggest that other defendants remain incarcerated[1].

The situation appears complex, with several factors contributing to the delay:

  1. Processing time: Cases of defendants still awaiting trial may take longer to dismiss, as opposed to those already convicted[1].
  2. Judicial pushback: Federal judges in Washington, D.C., have expressed strong disagreement with Trump’s pardons, issuing orders that rebuke efforts to downplay the events of January 6, 2021[2][4].
  3. Legal nuances: The presidential pardon power, while significant, does not give exclusive authority to dismiss cases where individuals are still awaiting trial or sentencing[6].

Judge Carl Nichols, who sentenced many of the January 6 defendants, is reportedly one of the judges standing in the way of these releases[8]. However, it’s important to note that judges are required to process the dismissals requested by prosecutors following Trump’s clemency order[6].

The situation remains fluid, with ongoing debates about the implications of the pardons and the role of the judiciary in processing these cases.
