Americans were promised that those involved in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol would be held fully accountable.

But today, some of those same individuals — including people who have already been convicted or even pardoned — are reoffending, making new threats, violating supervised release, and endangering communities.

The recent case of Taylor Taranto makes this clear. Taranto, previously pardoned for Jan. 6 involvement, has now been accused of a dangerous pattern of new behavior: approaching the neighborhood of a sitting member of Congress, livestreaming threats, and violating basic probation conditions. Taranto was already convicted this year for entering an elementary school near Rep. Jamie Raskin’s home while broadcasting menacing statements.

This is no longer about past actions — it’s about ongoing public safety risks.

We are calling on the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Probation Office, and federal judges to:

• Seek the maximum allowable sentencing for repeat Jan. 6 offenders who commit new crimes or violate supervised release
• Prioritize detention when individuals demonstrate patterns of threatening, stalking, or extremist behavior
• Treat recidivism in politically motivated cases as a serious risk factor, not a minor probation violation
• Use enhanced sentencing guidelines to ensure that repeat offenders face meaningful consequences
• Protect elected officials, judges, communities, and schools from individuals who have already shown a willingness to break the law.

This petition is not about politics. It is about preventing violence, protecting our democratic institutions, and ensuring that no one is above the law.

When someone has already been convicted — and especially when they’ve been granted leniency or a pardon — and then engages in new threatening behavior, the justice system must respond with seriousness and strength. Anything less puts the public at risk.

We demand accountability. We demand consequences. And we demand maximum sentencing for repeat Jan. 6 offenders.
