Bryan Betancur was one of the hundreds of those arrested for participating in the January 6th violent insurrection at the US Capitol. On probation, Betancur knew his movements were being tracked electronically, so he had asked permission to go to Washington to sell Bibles. But after the Maryland man's GPS monitor showed he was in the US Capitol during the mob attack, he was arrested. According to Newser, he was charged with entering a restricted building or grounds, unlawful activities on Capitol Grounds, and disorderly conduct. Newser reports federal court documents say Betancur belongs to several white supremacist organizations. Investigators found photos on social media of Betancur in a Proud Boys shirt while displaying a Confederate flag.
Washington DC, Sep 18 (EFE/EPA).- A large police presence was witnessed on Saturday as a couple hundred protesters showed up for 'Justice for J6' protest, an event planned to show support for people jailed for their role in the 6 January 2021 attack on the Capitol.

Capitol Police officer Aquilino Gonell compares the January 6 assault on the Capitol to a medieval siege in dramatic testimony to a Congressional select committee hearing on the event. "We fought hand to hand, inch by inch to prevent an invasion of the Capitol by a violent mob intent on subverting our democratic process," Gonell said. SOUNDBITE
"We know there is evidence of a coordinated planned attack. We know that the men and women who stormed the Capitol wanted to derail the peaceful transfer of power in this country," says senior Democrat and hearing chairman Bennie Thompson as he opens a congressional inquiry into the January 6 attack.

The vehicle that rammed into police officers near the US Capitol remains near the scene with its trunk open, while the National Guard and first responders arrive on site. One officer was killed and a second injured after the vehicle rammed through security and crashed into a barrier, forcing the US Capitol into lockdown less than three months after a mob assault on Congress.
