Rasha N. Abual-Ragheb
January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageRasha N. Abual-Ragheb knows what real war looks like. She fled one as a child. New Jersey, by way of a long road. She escaped the Lebanese civil war as a girl, made it to Jordan, and then built a life in the United States, where she has lived for more than two decades. [FACT - Law and Crime; court record] On January 6 she was inside the Capitol for about two minutes. She came in a tutu. At sentencing, U.S. District Judge Carl Nichols noted exactly that: she did not come dressed to fight a war. She was not accused of any violence or destruction. [FACT - Courthouse News; court record] She pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two months of home confinement and 36 months of probation, plus $500 restitution. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. [FACT - court record] An immigrant who came to this country for a better life, stepped inside for two minutes, and went home. That is the whole of it. The record: Case No. 1:21-cr-43, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 1/19/21. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you - or your family - claiming it is free, forever.
