Multiple Jan. 6 defendants were taken out of their cells on stretchers on Thursday, according to a court filing.
The situation started when one of the defendants refused to wear a mask, family members of Kelly Meggs, who is being held in the D.C. Jail, told Meggs lawyer.
Prison guards began spraying a chemical substance described as “some kind of mace or pepper spray, according to a filing in federal court.
“They sprayed mace or some type of gas at an inmate and kept missing so it went into an intake that fed into other cells and the lady with the key left because she didn’t like the gas, so the inmates in the cells who were being fed the gas from that intake were locked in for like 15 minutes while it was going into their rooms and they couldn’t see/breathe,” the family told Jonathon Moseley, the lawyer.
More than one of the defendants was taken out on stretchers to medical bays.
Julie Kelly, a writer for the American Greatness, reported on Wednesday that prison guards filled an area of the jail with chemical spray and three detainees had to be taken out on stretchers.
Moseley and the D.C. Department of Corrections did not respond to requests for comment.
The lawyer said his client was not in one of the cells that the gas was cycled into by the ventilation system. He urged the court to explore with the Bureau of Prisons and Congress whether any federal funds are already or can be allocated to repair and upgrade the D.C. Jail facilities.

Thanks for clarifying for the obtuse. 😀
And yes, The Capitol Police are on the verge of becoming the STASI or whatever.
Actually they already are, if one happens to be one of the poor souls in DC solitary.
A group of us noticed long ago on the police abuse threads. no matter how repugnant their actions are. There are always someone who will defend their actions.
I’ll bet they told them they were getting a shower. But instead of water, the showers emitted gas.
DC should not be allowed to have its own jail system that houses people over a week … There is neither federal or state oversight instead anyone they should go to a federals lock up as close to the state they came from.
I’m not defending any actions. I’m calling BS on the report
And we’re the nazis. hah!
It was a question if the ACLU got any money from it.IDK. I was speculating as they must get something out it other that ego satisfaction. They do get indirect funding from the lawyers that make up the group. So if the lawyers get the case and win I will assume the ACLU keeps getting dues money.
I will assume the best part for the ACLU is the networking of like minded fellow travelers.
yeah, the aclu is a pretty leftist group of skunks as has been shown over the years.
You might be closer than you realize. The Nazi Schutzstaffel or SS started out this same way. In 1923 Hitler started the Saal-Schutz to protect 'the Party' at its meetings. Through a number of mutations it became the security arm of his govt known as the SS .
A few months ago I called our local 'conservative' radio talk show to alert its listeners of Obersturmbahnfuher Pelosi's intent to open a branch of her new secret police in our state and explain the identical historical precedent described above - and got thrown off the air! sigh
Conspicuous by their absence.
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.
But anyone who does not love does not know God, for God is love. - 1 John 4:7-8
Well, that cuts both ways. The millions of Trump rally activists need to blow up twitter and farcebook servers.
