Another insurrectionist pardoned by Trump has been rearrested [View all]

Yet another violent Capitol insurrectionist whom President Donald Trump pardoned has been rearrested, The Washington Post reported late Monday.

Zachary J. Alam was arrested on May 9 and charged with felony residential burglary and misdemeanor vandalism after he allegedly broke into a house in Richmond, Virginia, while the homeowners were there.

Until Jan. 20, Alam had been serving an eight-year prison sentence after he was convicted of eight felonies and three misdemeanors for his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, which included “assaulting, resisting, or impeding” Capitol Police officers.

Alam was unrepentant, with U.S. District Judge Dabney L. Friedrich giving him one of the longest prison sentences of any Jan. 6 insurrectionist because of his “lack of remorse,” The Washington Post reported in November, when he was sentenced.
