Violent rioters of the US Capitol attack would be 'good candidates' for the federal no-fly list
After violence and chaos ensued at the US Capitol building in Washington DC earlier this month lawmakers have called for those involved to be added to the federal no-fly list.
On January 6, rioters barged into the US Capitol building wearing clothing associated with white supremacy and waving confederate flags as lawmakers were in the midst of certifying election results for President Joe Biden. Lawmakers were forced to evacuate as rioters ransacked their offices and the Senate Chamber. A Reuters photographer who was on the scene even heard some of the mob members discussing hanging former Vice President Mike Pence.
Many of the insurrectionists were not from the nation's capital but from other parts of the country. As they traveled back home to their respective states, some by plane, rioters were caught on camera pestering lawmakers like Sen. Lindsey Graham at an airport.
The riot, which resulted in five deaths, including a Capitol police officer, set off a wave of urgency to boost security efforts in Washington, DC, and across the US ahead of President Joe Biden's inauguration last week -- including 20,000 National Guard members. Additionally, airlines ramped up security at airports before the inauguration and the Transportation Security Administration said they were looking into individuals to potentially add to the federal no-fly list.
