`INSURRECTI­ONISTS' SHOULD GO ON NO-FLY LIST, SCHUMER SAYS

-

Supporters of President Donald Trump who breached the U.S. Capitol should be banned from flying, Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, shown, said Tuesday, calling those in the mob insurrecti­onists who are a threat to national security. Schumer said U.S. officials should place people who were inside the Capitol building on the federal “no-fly” list. “We cannot allow these same insurrecti­onists to get on a plane and cause more violence and more damage,” Schumer said at a news briefing. He discussed the matter with FBI Director Christophe­r Wray. Asked about the possibilit­y of adding suspects to the no-fly list, Steven M. D’Antuono, an FBI official who heads the Washington Field Office, said it is “something that we are actively looking at.”
