CHICAGO (CBS) — When federal agents were arresting her police officer brother in June 2021 for his role in the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, Agnieszka Chwiesiuk asked agents "are you going to arrest me too?" They weren't there to arrest her then, but 18 months later, the feds did arrest her for joining her brother at the riot.
Agnieszka Chwiesiuk is facing four federal charges in connection with the riot, including entering a restricted building without lawful authority; disorderly or disruptive conduct in a restricted building; disorderly or disruptive conduct in the Capitol with the intent to impede a session of congress; and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in any of the Capitol buildings.
