Law enforcement officers and members of the media appeared to outnumber protesters during the "Justice for J6" rally in Washington D.C. to support those who were detained by the federal government after the Jan. 6 Capitol breach.
The protesters were in the midst of numerous officers clad in riot gear along with plainclothes police and law enforcement on bikes and horses.
Two individuals in a vehicle with a Louisiana license plate were arrested on Saturday morning with extraditable warrants out of Texas, said Capitol Police. One individual was accused of possession of a firearm and the other was accused of a probation violation.
Despite the low turnout at the rally, "Justice for J6" drew significant media coverage and social media engagement. While some media outlets on Sunday morning blared that the small crowd size was a sign that former President Donald Trump's influence is waning, Trump last week suggested that people shouldn't attend the event.
Trump on Sept. 17 said that he believes individuals who are being detained or prosecuted for partaking in the Jan. 6 protest and breach are "being persecuted" by the federal government.
“In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively that we are a two-tiered system of justice," Trump wrote in a statement. "In the end, however, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!”
Over the past few months, concerns have been raised for several dozen individuals who were arrested and then detained in a federal jail in Washington D.C. over their role in the Jan. 6 incident.
The conditions they've faced, meanwhile, have alarmed some Democrat lawmakers, including. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.).
