Advertisements
Isabella Maria DeLuca is an American woman from Setauket, Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, United States. Setauket is around 294 miles away from Washington, D.C., USA.
On November 3, 2020, Joe Biden won the United States presidential election, defeating Donald Trump. On January 6, 2021, Trump’s supporters breached the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C. while a joint session of U.S. Congress was certifying the vote of the Electoral College and affirming Biden’s victory.
DeLuca is accused of joining the U.S. Capitol riot. Here are 13 more things about him:
On January 5, 2021, she traveled from New York City, New York to Washington, D.C. and incurred a $108.00 charge from Amtrak. In the evening, her Amtrak train broke down near Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
On January 6, 2021, she incurred a charge of $160.86 from the Kimpton Lorien Hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, USA. That day, she allegedly went to the U.S. Capitol building where she passed a stolen table out of a broken window and allowed other rioters to use it as a weapon against police.
On January 7, 2021, an Instagram user messaged her, “I’m wondering why you support the breaking into the capitol.” She responded, “According to the constitution it’s our house.”
On January 8, 2021, she commented on a post on Instagram: “I got maced pretty bad about three times, and on top of that it was extremely windy, so it was blowing everywhere. While I do believe some people were placed there to cause chaos I don’t believe that people were faking being maced. Even if they were not directly hit, the wind was carrying it and affecting everyone.”
On January 9, 2021, the Federal Bureau of Investigation received an online tip about her U.S. Capitol riot participation on January 6, 2021. That day, an acquaintance messaged on Instagram, “Not sure if this is right but your profile shows only 9 posts.” She replied, “Yes I deleted a lot of my posts.”
On January 14, 2021, she issued a lengthy statement on social media saying in part, “I was there on Jan. 6. I have mixed feelings. People went to the Capitol building because that’s Our House and that’s where we go to take our grievances. People feel, as do I that an election was stolen from them and it was allowed.”
On January 15, 2021, she wrote in an Instagram message, “So it talks about how to save the election with all the fraud that’s happened. I can see from the notes that he suggests martial law. If Trump declares martial law in 7 states, his campaign allies could take control of the state’s ballots & overturn the results of the election in Trump’s favor. Which would be ideal.”
On January 21, 2021, an FBI agent called her mother, who said she did go to the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 with some friends but did not enter the building.
In December 2021, she graduated from Stony Brook University in Stony Brook, New York with a bachelor’s degree in political science.
On July 13, 2022, the FBI lawfully obtained a search warrant for her Instagram and Twitter accounts.
On December 5, 2023, an FBI agent interviewed employees of the apartment building where she was residing and one of them positively identified her in each of the six photographs the agent showed.
On February 1, 2024, she turned 24. On February 28, 2024, U.S. Magistrate Judge Robin M. Meriweather signed a criminal complaint filed by a FBI special agent against him.
On March 15, 2024, she was arrested in Irvine, California, USA. For her participation in the U.S. Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, she was charged with theft of government property, disorderly conduct and entering a restricted area.
