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.

    Some 4d chess there. When Canada becomes the 51st state, they’ll have to extradite him. But when Canada becomes the 51st state, all Jan 6ers will be pardoned.

      Hypothetically, if Canada and the US merged, wouldn’t they add like 10 states?

        They know so little about Canada that they think it’s just one continuous state.

            True, was just using it loosely kinda like we call our states states in the US, but it could also refer to a nation state, or separate providences, etc
