Antony Vo, 32, absconded to Canada after being convicted for his role in the Capitol riot. He believes the incident was a peaceful protest that was subverted.
Vo's asylum claim is based on the perception that the January 6 protest was part of a regime-change operation against Trump. He hopes for a pardon when Trump returns to office.
Vo, whose mother was granted asylum in the US after fleeing Vietnam, aims to remain in Canada until it's safe to return home. He cites a history of Canadian support for refugees.
Despite more than 1,500 people being charged for their involvement in the Capitol riot, Vo insists he witnessed no violence during the events on January 6.
