More than 440 people have been charged with taking part in the Capitol siege, coming from all but six states with the most coming from Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida, in that order.
Four months after the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, FBI agents maintain a steady pace of arresting people accused of taking part, as one of the largest criminal investigations in American history keeps growing.
"We're not done rounding up the worst of the worst," said one law enforcement official. "We're not slowing down."
More than 440 people have been charged with taking part in the Capitol siege, coming from all but six states Mississippi, North and South Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wyoming. The largest number come from Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida, in that order.
Men outnumber women among those arrested by 7 to 1, with an average age of 39, according to figures compiled by the Program on Extremism at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. A total of 44 are military veterans.

They didn't expect to get arrested but Ali did.
Someone will rat his ass out. I expect the Feds will at some point announce a reward for information about his whereabouts.

Who cares that there are more men than women being arrested?
Are we tracking black or white or gay or straight or trans?
Demographics mean nothing. This is all about arresting criminals!
