Sanctifying January 6th Rioters: A Nightly Vigil for Freedom Fighters
Trump supporters gather nightly at the "Freedom Corner" outside Washington DC's city jail to protest the treatment of those arrested in connection with the January 6 Capitol riot. The protesters, who believe the government is persecuting them, demand accountability for the conditions in the jail, which has an overwhelmingly Black inmate population. The vigils have attracted activists from across the country, including some of the hundreds of people swept up in the federal investigation into the violence on January 6.
