Antony Vo, a 32-year-old man from Indiana who participated in the January 6 Capitol assault, was arrested in Whistler, British Columbia, on the four-year anniversary of the attack. Vo had been sentenced to nine months in prison for his involvement in the 2021 attack but fled to Canada before he was due to report to a US federal prison in June 2024. Vo admitted he sought refuge in Canada in hopes of receiving a pardon from President-elect Donald Trump upon his return to office. The Canada Border Services Agency confirmed the arrest and stated Vo had no official record of entering Canada through a legal border crossing.

Vo was convicted of four counts related to his actions during the Capitol riot, including entering a restricted building and disorderly conduct. Since the event, over 1,500 individuals have been charged in connection with the assault. Trump has previously described the rioters as "patriots" and has suggested he may pardon many of them if he returns to the White House. Vo is currently awaiting a hearing in Canada on January 15 to determine whether he will be allowed to remain in the country.
