Top Democratic Senator demands Capitol Hill rioters be put on no-fly list

A top Democratic leader in the United States has demanded that all those who stormed Capitol Hill last week be put on the country’s no-fly list.

“We cannot allow these same insurrectionists to get on a plane and cause more violence and more damage. These individuals are threat to the homeland as defined by the law allows this. And they should be placed on the no-fly list,” Senate Minority Leader Senator Chuck Schumer told reporters in New York.

Saying his party colleagues were calling on the authorities, the FBI, the TSA and the Department of Homeland Security for this, Schumer said he spoke to the FBI director twice in the last few days.
