Senator Chuck Schumer called on the TSA and FBI to add any convicted Capitol Hill rioters to the federal “no fly list” Tuesdasy; saying they should not be permitted to travel around the country and “cause more damage.”
“These individuals are a threat to the homeland … Once you’re a threat to the homeland, you should and will be placed on the no-fly list. Plain and simple,” said Schumer.
“They should not be allowed to get on a plane and cause more violence and damage,” he added. “The attack on our Capitol remains under active investigation.”

Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez slammed Republican Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley Thursday; saying the two “must resign” after thousands of protesters stormed the US Capitol during a Joint Session of Congress.

“The attack at the Capitol was a despicable act of terrorism and a shocking assault on our democratic system. We must come together and put this anger and division behind us. We must, and I am confident we will, have a peaceful and orderly transition of power,” said Cruz earlier in the day.
JUSTICE: Capitol Rioters Could Face Up to 10 Years in Prison Under Trump’s Monument Law
Rioters that ransacked the United States Capitol could face up to 10 years in prison under President Trump’s recent executive order protecting national monuments.
“Acting Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen vowed that pro-Trump rioters who entered the U.S.Capitol would ‘face the full consequences of their actions under the law,’ and those consequences could include being charged under President Trump’s executive order authorizing up to 10 years in prison for ‘injury of federal property,” reports Fox News.
“Our criminal prosecutors have been working throughout the night with special agents and investigators from the U.S. Capitol Police, FBI, ATF, Metropolitan Police Department and the public to gather the evidence, identify perpetrators and charge federal crimes where warranted,” Rosen said in a statement on Thursday.
“Some participants in yesterday’s violence will be charged today, and we will continue to methodically assess evidence, charge crimes and make arrests in the coming days and weeks to ensure that those responsible are held accountable under the law,” Rosen continued.
