Christina Katherine Kelso is a California woman from Thermal, in the Coachella Valley east of Los Angeles. On January 6, 2021, Christina traveled across the country to Washington, D.C. to join the rally and the crowd at the Capitol. She was among the many who came to make their voices heard. The legal fight: Christina Katherine Kelso was arrested in 2024 and charged with obstruction and trespassing counts. These were charges, not convictions, and she was presumed innocent throughout. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. A California woman from the desert town of Thermal — that's the person behind this file. Case record: United States v. Kelso, No. 1:24-cr-00233, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested 2024. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
