Straka says he was then placed in a concrete cell with a metal door that didn't open for two days. A tiny vertical sliver passed for a window to the outdoors, and a flap in the door allowed food to pass through.
"On Jan. 6, 2021, social media influencer Brandon Straka ran a thriving nonprofit organization with a massive following, had a game plan for red-pilling Democratic minorities, and was personally invited by President Donald Trump to attend a rally.
"It all came crashing down when Straka was seen standing on the East Lawn of the Capitol filming people, out of view from the violence and chaos seen around the world. Straka unwittingly became one of the event's most famous defendants when he was arrested two weeks later by a SWAT team that he says treated him as a terrorist.
"He is now confined to his home, claims he has been placed on a terror watchlist, and is on federal probation for the next three years. Straka says the experience has left him shaken.
"'The unchecked power of the federal government to come after American citizens who support a man the government establishment hates is terrifying," Straka told the Washington Examiner. "They have unlimited power and resources to destroy people who reject their politics.' "
