Notable Jan. 6 arrestees plan Capitol march to honor Ashli Babbitt, mark 5 year anniversary
January 3, 2026 | Kevin Haggerty
The fifth anniversary of January 6, 2021, is set to include a special return to the U.S. Capitol by known defendants honoring Ashli Babbitt and others who died.
Much like Democrats refuse to stop considering the breach of the U.S. Capitol as the “worst attack on democracy” since the Civil War, despite literal terrorist attacks, many on the right won’t rest until they believe justice has been served. Where it concerned Jan. 6, that included hopes for the Justice Department to act before the statute of limitations is reached, as a permitted march was set to recreate the trip from the Ellipse to the Capitol on Tuesday.
CBS News reported, “The former leader of the far-right group the Proud Boys and other defendants convicted for crimes connected to the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol are set to return to Washington, D.C., for a march marking five years since the attack.”
“Among those promoting the march is Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the Proud Boys who was convicted of charges including seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. 6 attack and sentenced to 22 years in prison,” added the report. “Tarrio was among the more than 1,500 defendants convicted of Jan. 6-related crimes who received clemency from President Trump on his first day back in the White House in 2025.”
In addition to Babbitt, the march was set to honor Rosanne Boyland, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips, as well as U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick who’d died the following day.
