    Federal prosecutors say agents found a smashed cell phone in Christian Secor's vehicle while executing a search warrant. The phone case includes the image of Pepe The Frog, a cartoon character that has been appropriated by far-right extremists.

    On Jan. 6, 2021, Christian Secor, a student at UCLA, broke into the U.S. Capitol along with hundreds of rioters, entered the Senate chamber while carrying the flag of an extremist anti-immigrant and antisemitic movement, and sat in the chair recently vacated by former Vice President Mike Pence.

    Not long after, Secor posted on Twitter that Trump supporters should be "proud" of the Capitol riot, in which more than 140 police officers were injured. "One day accomplished more for conservativism than the last 30 years," he wrote.

    On Wednesday, the 24-year-old Secor was sentenced to to obstruction of an official proceeding, a felony.
