A federal judge this week ordered a man accused of illegally entering the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 to be freed from jail, as the man is not facing charges related to violence.

Douglas Jensen, 41, donning a T-shirt promoting the QAnon movement, was among the first people to force their way inside the Capitol in January, according to court documents.
