In an extraordinary legal maneuver, more than 100 January 6 prisoners have come together to file a $50 billion class action lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ). This landmark case, officially named the January 6 Restitution and Wrongful Incarceration Lawsuit, seeks to address what the plaintiffs allege are gross violations of constitutional rights, politically motivated prosecutions, and life-altering damages.
Jake Lang, who has been incarcerated for nearly four years, is leading the charge alongside organizations like Federal Watchdog and the Anti-Lawfare Group. Supported by a powerhouse legal team that includes attorneys Steven Metcalf, Anthony Sabatini, Stephanie Lambert, and Jonathan Gross, Lang believes this lawsuit represents more than just a quest for financial restitution.
“This isn’t just about restitution; it’s about setting a precedent,” Lang asserted. “Weaponized government and lawfare against conservatives can never become the standard in America.”

Set to be filed on January 20, 2025, the lawsuit alleges systemic bias and politically motivated actions by the DOJ. The plaintiffs argue they were unfairly targeted for exercising their First Amendment rights by protesting at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. They claim federal authorities “hunted them down like animals,” subjected them to inhumane prison conditions, and denied them fair legal representation.
The consequences for the defendants have been devastating. Many report losing careers, homes, and businesses, while enduring irreparable emotional and psychological trauma. Families, especially children, have also suffered immensely due to prolonged separations from their loved ones.
Lang highlighted the toll on children, saying, “The damage to children who have spent four years without their fathers at home cannot be put into monetary value. But we must begin the healing process by holding those responsible for our unconstitutional cruel and unusual torture accountable.”
Critics of the DOJ’s handling of January 6 cases argue it exemplifies a two-tiered justice system, disproportionately targeting supporters of former President Donald Trump while ignoring or minimizing other instances of political violence. Lang and his team hope to expose this alleged systemic bias and bring attention to what they describe as a weaponized justice system.
Federal Watchdog, one of the organizations backing the lawsuit, has been a staunch advocate for January 6 defendants. Earlier this year, the group filed a $150 million wrongful injury lawsuit on behalf of over 80 individuals injured during clashes with Capitol police. Now, they’re upping the ante with this $50 billion legal action.
“This lawsuit isn’t just about compensation—it’s about accountability,” Lang stated. “We’re standing up to secure restitution for the thousands of broken lives left in the wake of the January 6 persecution.”
The lawsuit’s timing is deliberate. Filed just days before the potential inauguration of former President Donald Trump, many supporters hope he will issue pardons to remaining January 6 prisoners if he reclaims the presidency. Regardless of political outcomes, the plaintiffs view this legal action as a turning point in their fight for justice.
“This legal battle is part of a broader effort to reclaim justice and rebuild lives,” Lang emphasized.
The lawsuit’s potential impact could ripple through the U.S. legal system, setting a precedent for how future cases involving politically sensitive events are handled. Lang and his legal team intend to use personal stories of loss and resilience to humanize their cause and highlight the systemic harm they allege has been inflicted by federal authorities.
Federal Watchdog is encouraging more January 6 prisoners and their families to join the lawsuit, which they can do at no cost via J6Restitution.com. Lang urged participation, saying, “This is your chance to fight back and demand justice. We need every voice in this battle.”
For those involved, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Many face the daunting task of rebuilding their lives after losing everything during their incarceration. Others are grappling with significant physical and mental health challenges stemming from harsh prison conditions.
Despite these hardships, the plaintiffs remain resolute. They see this lawsuit not only as a means of securing restitution but also as a rallying cry for those who feel disenfranchised by a politically motivated justice system.
As January 20, 2025, approaches, the legal team is preparing for what could become one of the most significant class action lawsuits in American history. Lang and his supporters are optimistic that their efforts will bring accountability, healing, and a renewed sense of justice.
“This lawsuit represents more than just legal action,” Lang concluded. “It’s a statement that no one is above the law, not even the government.”
The outcome of this case could reshape the nation’s legal and political landscape, offering a beacon of hope for those who feel wronged by the system and setting a precedent for future generations.
