Gabriel Garcia, a convicted Proud Boy involved in the January 6 Capitol attack, was pardoned by President Trump shortly after being sentenced to prison. He was arrested early in the investigation and found guilty of two felonies, leading to a year-long prison sentence and a $2,000 restitution order. After receiving news of the pardon, Garcia expressed relief, asserting his intent was never to harm anyone during the incident. The Capitol attack led to a significant number of federal charges, highlighting the violence faced by law enforcement that day.
"Thank God, it put an end to this nightmare. I never went in there to hurt anybody. I didn't destroy property, didn't break anything."
"Out of 1,583 people charged federally with crimes related to the attack, 608 people were charged with assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement agents."
