2026
2026-04-14 (Context here because people died from the J6 riots and the rioters were very violent). The DOJ moved to vacate the most serious J6 convictions from the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, two white supremacist groups in the U.S. To vacate a conviction means to totally wipe an event from record as though it had never happened.
