Joshua Lee Hernandez is a Houston, Texas husband and father — a working man his family counted on as their sole provider. His kids are the center of his story. By his own account, Joshua and his wife welcomed two children — a son and a daughter — in the years after January 6, and his family carried the weight of his incarceration back home in Texas (THEIR ACCOUNT, via his GiveSendGo campaign). From prison he wrote an open letter to the American people about his faith and his family (published by American Gulag). The court record is straightforward (FACT): Joshua Lee Hernandez pleaded guilty on November 2, 2022, to assaulting, resisting, or impeding law enforcement officers and interfering with officers during a civil disorder, and was sentenced on February 2, 2023, to 24 months incarceration and 36 months supervised release. On January 20, 2025, the presidential proclamation granted full pardons to individuals convicted of offenses relating to the events at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. Case record: United States v. Joshua Lee Hernandez, Case No. 1:22-cr-42, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
