President Donald Trump has called for the immediate release of individuals arrested over the January 6 protests at the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
This follows a pivotal Supreme Court decision that may alter the legal landscape for many involved.
In a significant legal and political development, a Supreme Court ruling might change the basis of charges against numerous January 6 defendants, Politico reported.
During a rally in Virginia on Friday, Trump voiced strong support for those arrested over Jan. 6.
He made these remarks following a Supreme Court decision issued the same day.
The high court questioned the grounds of federal obstruction charges against about 350 protesters.
The Supreme Court’s ruling clarified that such charges should be upheld only if it can be demonstrated that the defendants intended to obstruct the physical counting of electoral votes.
This decision has potentially significant implications for those charged.
Reacting to the court’s decision, Trump said:
“Free the [Jan. 6] hostages now.
“They should free them now for what they’ve gone through.”
Trump was emphasizing the lengthy wait and the perceived injustice faced by the defendants.
His comments came just hours after the Supreme Court delivered its 6-3 ruling.
They should all be given the Medal of Honor and $10 million each, taken from theFBI budget.
The Supreme Court just downgraded ‘the insurrection’ to trespassing
BY JONATHAN TURLEY
The Supreme Court’s decision on Friday in Fischer v. U.S. struck down one of the most common charges against January 6 defendants. “Obstruction of an official proceeding” had been used in hundreds of cases, and those convictions are now invalid.
But the biggest impact of the decision may occur elsewhere.
For years, calling January 6 an “insurrection” has been a litmus test for press, pundits and politicians. Members of Congress such as Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) claimed a conspiracy of “armed and organized insurrectionists.” The claim is legally absurd but politically advantageous.
It now seems like the insurrection increasingly looks more like a legal case of mass trespass and unlawful entry.

Everyone in prison from the FBI's Jan 6th entrapment scheme is an American national hero.
Every one of them should not only be freed and given several million dollars each, paid out of the FBI budget, they should be given the US Medal of Honor for daring to stand up against the corrupt FBI/Democrat oligarchy which defrauded US citizens in the 2020 presidential election.
They were unarmed, goaded by FBI into walking into the doors that were specifically unlocked to let them in, given tours (see buffalo man), and then arrested.
False noise was added to the video to make it sound violent.
The whole thing was entrapment and fraud from the beginning.
