To clarify, most Capitol tourists are still in pre-trial detention and facing illegal punishments like being denied necessary medical care. The media doesn't like those people, so naturally they haven't been covering the human rights abuses at all, which is why you may not have heard about it.

However, you may be thinking of the people that participated in the BLM/Antifa riots of 2020 who did spend a week in jail before they were bailed out by aligned political parties and subsequently had their charges dropped by politically aligned DAs.
