Matthew Graves, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, has promised to arrest one ‘January 6 Insurrectionist’ a day for the foreseeable future, meaning that the number of those incarcerated, around 1,200, will rise to more than 2,000 by the end of the year.

The Supreme Court Could Weigh In On Alleged ‘Overcriminalization’ Of Jan. 6 Cases

If the Supreme Court takes the case, it could have broad implications for hundreds of other Jan. 6 defendants indicted under the statute.
