Several January 6 defendants being held pre-trial were released on Tuesday from the Washington DC Jail after President Trump issued them a pardon. The men, and one woman, met with their families and supporters outside.
Rachel Powell, who was serving a 57 month sentence when she was pardoned, told the media she feels “so blessed” for the support she’d received.
January 6 defendant and Proud Boy Tom Vournad, who had pled guilty but was pending sentencing, was released from the DC Jail and received by other Proud Boys, who attempted to block media from filming him, with one yelling “Canada’s next! Proud Boys are coming for Canada!”
“You’ve done what no man could do, President Trump,” said Jake Lang, who had been held pre-trial since 2021. “The bullet that missed your head was a bullet that missed my head Mr President. That could have been 15 years of my life, and 15 years of these men’s lives over here that just came out of the prison cell with me.”
He hugged his father, Ned Lang, who has defended and advocated for his son in several events prior to his release.
Jonathan Pollock hugged his father and supporters and confirmed that the DC Jail staff drove the released men around the corner rather than allowing them to walk directly out of the jail.
“Very excited to feel the fresh air again,” Pollock said. “It’s a miracle we got this far.”
Greg Purdy, who had been convicted of assaulting police officers and was pardoned by Trump, says that the “Freedom Corner” movement expressing their support while he was locked up are “patriots.”
“The Freedom Corner is a family to me,” Purdy said. “It’s about love.”
Dominic Box, who remains inside the DC Jail, called in to the event. Attendees continued to commit their support to him.

All the corrup democrat are pardoned and these innocent people went thru hell and can't prosocute the real criminals !!
THANK GOD THEY'RE OUT NOT !! A MOTHER AWAY FROM HER CHILDREN FIR 4 YEARS THAT WOULD BE UNFORGETTABLE !!
Does anyone wonder why Trump didn't pardon while he was still president, before leaving office on January 20, 2021, President Donald Trump had the constitutional authority to pardon individuals involved in the January 6 Capitol riot, even if they had not yet been charged or convicted. The presidential pardon power is extensive and allows for pardons to be issued at any time after the commission of a federal offense. However, President Trump did not exercise this authority to pardon any individuals connected to the Capitol riot before his term ended.
Welcome back patriots. The rest of them need to be released immediately. God bless them!
Thank the Lord you are out!
The idiot in the yellow mask is a gift to the Democrats.
So happy for you guys!!!!! Trump did what he said he was going to do!!
Yes, on January 21, 2025, President Donald Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to Ross Ulbricht, the founder of the Silk Road dark web marketplace. Ulbricht had been serving two life sentences plus 40 years for his role in operating the online platform, which facilitated the sale of illegal drugs and other illicit goods.
Glad they had good people protecting them as much as possible from the MS Media..
Welcome home patriots
Thank you for being true American's!! Sorry that the Biden government took away your rights and your freedom. Praise God for your FREEDOM!!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲❤️🌹🙏
I saw a gentleman earlier that had been waiting 24 hours for his son to be released, Washington police told him they were processing him!! They had put his son in handcuffs and whooped up on him. I guarantee those officers will soon be losing their jobs!!!
Congratulations to Trump 🏆
WELCOME HOME! ❤
Demented Biden pardon real thugs, but not these protesters. One more time he showed the lack of love for Americans who exercise the right to protest.
Now arrest AOC, and Pelosi, and Actor QAnon, and stunt woman Ashli
Democrats and their supporters need to sit one on one get to know these victims and their unfair treatment from the corrupt cops all who was involved .
Thanks president Trump for fighting for your freedom. From NZ
Finally some truth about jan. 6, while other news outlets are still lying, these people should be thought of as hero's, bless them all, let's hope justice takes hand, where is Nancy, everyone responsible for this should be arrested, don't forget, trump wanted the national guard called in, pelosi didn't
As a canadian, i take offence to the guy that wants to take canada, i'm on your side, many of us canadians are, i think trump had a hand in trudeau resigning, but if you do come for us, take me peacefully, i mean no harm haha
The news media vultures can't even give these people tome to greet their families! Disgusting leeches!!

Come to the bottom of the J6 if in anyway there was any setup, then the implicated party’s must pay the price ,and see the jail from the inside .
Political prisoners? Can you believe this? In America. In our lifetimes? We just lived through communism If they are free we are all free. Thank you President Trump, thank you God!! Next, those imprisoned by the drug flow and human trafficking!❤🙏🏻
I thought I was going to see families reunited but it's men cursing and flipping the cameras off
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍😎
God fearing people. What a travesty
Finally political prisoners released now it’s time to go get the ones that put them in jail illegally. They are not above the law.
The Judicial system is so Corrupt 😡
Allllll a fake show…..
Are they going to charge that guard with the murder of that mother?
Scumbag Biden will be forever known in history as a lard of shit , Trump will go down as greatest president ever ,
I’m concerned about that second person who proclaimed to be a Proud Boy and shouted “Canada’s ours!” And flipping the finger. What was that all about?? That’s not a good look and I’m sure the far left is gonna run with that to try and show how unhinged the J6 people are (even though they aren’t).
