"Federal prisoners convicted in the Capitol attack on Jan. 6, 2021, began to be released overnight, after President Donald Trump approved pardons Monday for nearly 1,600 people charged in the riot.
Trump also commuted the sentences for 14 defendants. That included Stewart Rhodes, the former leader of the Oath Keepers militia, who had received the second-longest sentence of 18 years for his role in the riot.
Rhodes left a federal prison in Cumberland, Maryland, early Tuesday.
Relatives of Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys who received the longest sentence of 22 years for seditious conspiracy, said they expected his release."

About 600 people were charged with assaulting, resisting or impeding law enforcement. Among those who pleaded guilty, 172 admitted assaulting law enforcement, 130 admitted obstructing law enforcement during a riot and 69 admitted assaulting law enforcement with a dangerous or deadly weapon.
"I have been betrayed by my country," Michael Fanone, a former officer with Washington's Metropolitan Police Department who suffered a heart attack in the attack, told CNN on Monday.
"Tonight, six individuals who assaulted me as I did my job on Jan. 6, as did hundreds of other law enforcement officers, will now walk free."
