Isabella Maria DeLuca, a 24-year-old influencer, was present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021. After attending President Trump's rally, she felt uncomfortable after just two minutes inside and left. However, her brief involvement led to significant legal repercussions, including federal charges for theft and disorderly conduct three years later. The FBI's intense approach to her arrest left her traumatized, especially considering her lack of prior offenses. Despite being pardoned by Trump, she still grapples with the aftermath of that day's events.
I had no criminal record and there are actual criminals who are not met with that kind of force. It was probably the worst day of my life.
I was just going to meet friends at the Trump rally. We had no plans beyond that and we certainly never had any idea how the day was going to unfold.
