Ex-UCLA student sentenced to 3.5 years in prison over Capitol riot

• The 24-year-old was charged with obstructing Congress, civil disorder and assaulting, resisting or impeding officers, among others.
• Secor pleaded guilty in May and faces 42 months in prison, three years of supervised release and $2,000 in restitution. 

Details: Secor wore a red MAGA cap and carried a large blue flag with "America First" written on it after joining the mob invading the Capitol building. He sat in the House speaker's chair at one point, video footage shows.

• Federal prosecutors say Secor, an avid follower of far-right white nationalist Nick Fuentes, openly posted calls for America to become a whites-only nation.
• Secor also served as president of the UCLA campus organization America First Bruins — a movement spearheaded by Fuentes.

What they're saying: Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump nominee who oversaw Secor's case, called his actions "about as blatant and obstructive as any [he's] seen from that day that didn't include actual violence," NPR reports.
