The wheels are in motion to see an Indiana man in Canadian custody pardoned for his part in the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol riots according to his lawyer, but not as far as the Canada Border Services Agency is concerned.

Antony Vo, a 32-year-old Indiana man who fled to Canada to avoid a nine-month prison sentence last June is still being housed at an immigration holding centre in Surrey, B.C. after being arrested in Whistler on Jan. 6, but Canadian lawyer Robert Tibbo said his client’s counsel in the U.S. all indicate that “yes, 100 per cent, he’s been pardoned.”
