Emil Kozeluh

January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Emil Kozeluh is a Palos Heights man from the southwest suburbs of Chicago, and he was one of the very last people the federal government reached for. He was charged in 2024. More than three years after January 6, 2021. Three years of going to work. Three years of neighbors and groceries and Sunday. Then a federal case lands on the kitchen table for a single day in Washington that the government had already had three years to think about. WHO HE IS FACT: Emil Kozeluh is from Palos Heights, Illinois, in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. ABC7 Chicago, WGN-TV, and CBS Chicago identified him that way. FACT: He was charged in the same 2024 announcement as Michael Mollo Jr. of Oak Lawn. ABC7 Chicago covered the pair as the latest Chicago area men charged. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: occupation, trade, military or first responder service, and family. If you know this man, help us fill it in. THE LEGAL FIGHT CHARGE ONLY: Federal charges were filed in 2024 against Emil Kozeluh in connection with January 6, 2021. Those counts were allegations by a prosecutor. He is presumed innocent of every one of them. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency covering the January 6 prosecutions. CBS Chicago reported that the pardons affected dozens of Illinois defendants. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: case number, docket entries, and the order that closed the case. Not recorded in the DOJ mirror this archive preserved. WHAT THIS DOES NOT PROVE It does not prove Emil Kozeluh hurt anyone. It does not prove he planned anything. There is no conviction anywhere in this record, and this archive will not stretch a charge into a verdict. WHAT IT DOES PROVE Three years and change passed between the day and the knock. That is a fact about the process, not a fact about the man. A charge filed in 2024 for a day in 2021 deserves the same scrutiny anyone would want if the mail came to their house. CASE RECORD Name: Emil Kozeluh Hometown: Palos Heights, Illinois Charged: 2024 Court: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: case number and docket. Send the filings and we will put them on the record. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
