An Indiana man convicted of storming the Capitol on Jan. 6 with his mom has reportedly applied for asylum in Canada — and is already living there — after failing to report to prison over the summer.

Summary

Antony Vo, convicted for participating in the Jan. 6 Capitol riots alongside his mother, has fled to Canada and applied for asylum instead of reporting to prison to serve a nine-month sentence.

Vo claims his conviction was “political persecution” and part of a government conspiracy.

Currently living in Canada with his mother, who also faces federal charges, Vo believes Trump will pardon Jan. 6 rioters.

U.S. authorities have been actively searching for him, while his asylum application remains under review by Canadian officials.
