Case Summary
Federal prosecutors allege that around 4:20 pm on Jan. 6, 2021, Mitchell Bosch was among a group of protestors physically pushing against a line of police officers on the Upper West Terrace of the U.S. Capitol building. Bosch was seen in open-source footage wearing a red beanie underneath a red baseball cap, at the front of a group of protestors pushing into officers while chanting "USA!" After being pushed back, Bosch allegedly returned to the fray a few minutes later, charging into officers and saying "Hold the line!"
