Annie Vo

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Annie Vo is a Vietnamese refugee and mother from Fishers, Indiana, who was charged in connection with January 6. FACT: Annie fled Vietnam in 1991 and was granted political asylum in the United States. She built a life in Fishers, Indiana, and raised a family (Reporting: WTHR, Fox59, Newsweek). She traveled to Washington for January 6, 2021, alongside her son, Antony Vo. In August 2024, more than three years later, she was charged with misdemeanor offenses tied to entering the Capitol. She pleaded not guilty (FACT: Fox59). THEIR ACCOUNT: a mother who walked in beside her son, a refugee who loved the country that took her in. IDENTITY GUARD NOTE: an earlier version of this profile flagged the name "Annie Howell" as a possible match. That was a namesake error. Annie Howell of Swoyersville, Pennsylvania is a different, unrelated January 6 defendant with her own separate case (NPR Jan. 6 archive; wnep.com). That name has been removed from this profile. WHERE THINGS STAND: On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation covered January 6 defendants and directed dismissal of pending indictments. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: this archive has not yet located a docket entry confirming the specific date Annie's case was closed, but every other pending January 6 case researched for this pass was dismissed with prejudice within days of the proclamation, and this archive has found no report that hers proceeded differently. Her son Antony's own case became a much bigger story on its own (a jury conviction, a failure to appear, and an arrest in Canada) but that is his record, not hers, and this profile keeps the two separate. CASE RECORD Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: a "United States v. Vo" docket, case number 1:24-cr-00355, appears in court records from this period; this archive has not independently confirmed it is Annie's case rather than a same-surname filing. Charged: August 2024, misdemeanor counts. Pleaded not guilty. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
