The Justice Department is facing backlash for trying to dismiss a $100 million lawsuit filed by several Proud Boys members imprisoned for their roles in the January 6th Capitol riot. The Proud Boys allege malicious prosecution, evidence tampering, and constitutional violations. The Justice Department counters that the Proud Boys haven't exhausted all administrative remedies and that the US enjoys sovereign immunity. This legal battle has sparked outrage among Jan. 6th defendants and their supporters, who are calling for Attorney General Pam Bondi's resignation and predict more lawsuits seeking financial compensation.
