Jan. 6 Capitol rioter who fled to B.C. sent back to U.S. after pardon
from Trump -- and banned from Canada for a year
Antony Vo spent nearly a month in immigration detention after fleeing
his U.S. sentence for participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
After spending nearly a month in a Canadian immigration detention
centre to avoid a prison sentence for joining the Jan. 6 Capitol riot,
Antony Vo is going home.
January was an eventful month for Vo, who had gone from snowboarding
in the snowy hills of Whistler, B.C., to living in a cell after being
arrested on the four-year anniversary of the Washington, D.C. riot he
was charged with participating in. He had mused to the Star about the
community he had found in captivity, counting down the days to a
pardon from Donald Trump.
After President Trump's inauguration, Vo was included in the blanket
pardon that saw scores of Jan. 6 participants freed from imprisonment.
He faced hurdle after hurdle in his attempts to return to the U.S.,
but he has now safely crossed the border, his attorney told the Star.
