Andy Steven Oliva-Lopez is a young man from Milwaukie, Oregon — 27 years old when he was charged, and one of the last January 6 defendants the Justice Department ever arrested. Andy Steven Oliva-Lopez drove across the country from Milwaukie, in Clackamas County just south of Portland, with a friend, to attend a political rally in Washington, D.C. He was in his twenties. (FACT — DOJ; KOIN; OPB.) Here is a fact about his case that most people never hear: he was not arrested until January 23, 2024 — three full years after the event. He lived and worked in Oregon for three years, went nowhere, ran from nothing, and was there when federal agents came. (FACT — DOJ.) And here is the other one: his case moved fast because he took responsibility. Oliva-Lopez pleaded guilty to a single felony count rather than putting the government to trial. (FACT — DOJ, September 2024.) WHAT WE STILL NEED The archive does not yet have Andy Oliva-Lopez's trade, his employer, his family's own words, or a support page. Oregon coverage of his case never told any of it. If it exists, we want it — sourced, in his words or his family's. THE LEGAL FIGHT Arrested January 23, 2024. Pleaded guilty to one felony count under 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1). Sentenced January 17, 2025. Charges are charges, and this record reflects one count. Three days after sentencing, on January 20, 2025, Andy Steven Oliva-Lopez received a full January 6 pardon under the presidential clemency proclamation and was released from federal custody in under twenty-four hours. He is named on the Office of the Pardon Attorney certificate-recipient list. (FACT — White House presidential action, January 20, 2025; DOJ Pardon Attorney FOIA release; KGW.) His appeal, D.C. Circuit No. 25-3010, was docketed January 24, 2025. The public docket snapshot shows a March 19, 2025 unopposed government motion to vacate. NEEDS AUTHENTICATION: the final appellate disposition in D.C. Cir. No. 25-3010 remains unverified. CASE RECORD Case No. 1:24-cr-00343-LLA-1, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia; D.C. Cir. No. 25-3010. Arrested January 23, 2024.
