Public January 6 profile · ready to claim
Paul Orta, Jr.
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imagePaul Orta Jr. is from Blue Earth, in southern Minnesota. FACT: DOJ says he was arrested and charged with felony and misdemeanor counts tied to January 6, 2021. FACT: He pleaded guilty to felony civil disorder and was later sentenced to federal prison time. THEIR ACCOUNT: Minnesota Public Radio and the Star Tribune followed the case from arrest through sentencing, reporting him as the 13th Minnesotan charged in connection with the Capitol breach. DATA GAP for Ryan: this record is missing a docket case number and court. Flagged to pull from the DOJ release and add. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: whether the January 20, 2025 clemency for January 6 defendants applies to this case. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you, or your family, claiming it is free, forever.
