Actor, journalist, and Republican Party official Siaka Massaquoi has been arrested by the FBI for allegedly entering the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Massaquoi revealed that he was charged last week with non-violent misdemeanors relating to his presence on Jan. 6.
Massaquoi shared news of his own arrest and charges in a post on Twitter/X.
He had previously been raided by the FBI two years before.
However, no charges had been filed against him at that time.
In footage Massaquoi shared, he is seen standing in a doorway and filming police officers with his phone.
He is seen smiling jovially and attempting to comply with their request that the crowd leave the building.
“We’ll – we’re gonna work it out,” he is heard saying.

Massaquoi is a reporter for RedState, which reported on his arrest.
Los Angeles-based actor Siaka Massaquoi was arrested Thursday night at a Los Angeles airport on four misdemeanor charges related to his peaceful participation in the Jan. 6 protests, the outlet revealed.
Massaquoi and his pregnant wife were returning from Nashville, where they attended the premiere of the Daily Wire’s new film “Ladyballers.”
Massaquoi, who ran for the California State Assembly in 2022, currently serves as the first vice-chair of the Republican Party of Los Angeles County.
He was charged with trespassing, parading, and disorderly conduct.
Although the charges are misdemeanors, FBI agents took Massaquoi to jail.
He was kept overnight until being released on a $1,000 OR bond at the end of the day Friday.
X owner and Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk commented on news of Massaquoi’s arrest, saying: “This has gone too far.”

Last week, The Washington Post warned that if President Donald Trump is elected to a second term, he could become a “dictator.”
The outlet alleges that Trump could abuse the powers of the federal government to “go after … Democratic opponents.”
