Biao Qu was arrested in San Jose, California, on June 28, 2023, in connection with Jan. 6, 2021 (FACT, per the U.S. Attorney's Office case record and news coverage). A criminal complaint in his case had been filed a week earlier, on June 21, 2023. Beyond the court record, little public reporting exists about Mr. Qu, and this archive will not guess. What can be said accurately is limited: he was among the San Jose-area residents charged in the District of Columbia in connection with that day, and — like other Jan. 6 defendants — his case was reached by President Trump's January 20, 2025 clemency. If you know Mr. Qu's story — his work, his family, his own account of that day — this profile can hold it, with sources. Case record: Case No. — 1:23-mj-135. Court — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Complaint — June 21, 2023. Arrested — June 28, 2023. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
