Five convicted members of the Proud Boys—a far-right group involved in the 2021 Capitol riots—are suing the U.S. government for a whopping $100 million, claiming their convictions were unjust. It’s a bold legal move that’s sure to reignite debates about accountability, free speech, and the fallout from that chaotic day.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about the money—it’s a high-stakes challenge to how the justice system handled the Capitol riot cases. If the lawsuit gains traction, it could embolden others to push back on their charges, stirring up fresh controversy over who bears responsibility for the violence. For the public, it’s another reminder of how deeply that day still divides the country.
