Salvador Sandoval, Jr.
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageSalvador Sandoval Jr. is an Ankeny, Iowa man whose January 6 story is a family story — he traveled to Washington, D.C. that day alongside his mother, Deborah Sandoval, and the two faced the federal government together. FACT: Salvador did not take a deal. He took his case to trial. On December 15, 2022, the court found him guilty on 12 counts, including six felonies, and he was later sentenced to 88 months in federal prison plus $2,000 restitution — reported as the longest sentence handed to any Iowan charged over January 6. FACT: His mother was prosecuted in a companion case, making the Sandovals one of the mother-and-son cases that drew statewide coverage across Iowa. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump's clemency proclamation covered January 6 convictions, including this one — ending the sentence and closing the chapter. Whatever you think of that day, Salvador Sandoval Jr. of Ankeny, Iowa stood in open court, went to trial, and took the verdict head-on. The receipts are all below.
