The presentation says that the order is effective from Friday at noon.
Rhodes, founder of Oath Keepers, was previously seen at the Capitol Complex office building. He was convicted of seditious conspiracy.
U.S. Attorney Edward Martin filed a motion later Friday to lift all conditions of release for the defendants.
“Because the terms of supervised release and probation are included in the defendants’ ‘sentences,’ the court cannot modify the terms of supervised release,” the filing says.

“There is no other way to describe President Trump’s pardon of the Jan. 6 defenders than un-American,” Schumer said. “It’s so un-American to do that, to pardon. And let’s be clear, President Trump doesn’t just pardon protesters. He pardoned individuals convicted of assaulting police officers. He pardoned individuals convicted of seditious conspiracy. And he pardoned— those forgiven who tried to undermine our democracy.”
first House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.called Trump’s pardon “disgraceful” and “a betrayal” of those police officers “who put their lives on the line to stop an attempt to subvert the peace transfer of power.”
