An Indiana man convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 with his mom has reportedly applied for asylum in Canada — and is already living there — after failing to report to prison over the summer.

Summary

Antony Vo, convicted for participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots alongside his mother, has fled to Canada and applied for asylum instead of reporting to prison to serve a nine-month sentence.

Vo claims his conviction was “political persecution” and part of a government conspiracy.

Currently living in Canada with his mother, who also faces federal charges, Vo believes Trump will pardon Jan. 6 rioters.

U.S. authorities have been actively searching for him, while his asylum application remains under review by Canadian officials.

    Since Trump’s going to pardon them, justice will never be done by the judicial system. So if justice is to be done, it will be by other means.
