Jake Lang and supporters gather to sing “God Bless the USA” minutes after release from unlawful detention!

Jake Lang was released from prison on January 21, 2025, after spending four years behind bars–nearly 3 years of which were spent in solitary confinement– without a trial following his involvement in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riot. Lang had been charged with several counts, including assaulting law enforcement officers, civil disorder, and obstruction of an official proceeding. His case garnered significant attention due to the prolonged duration of his pretrial detention, making him one of the longest-held defendants from the January 6 events without a trial.
