State Representative María Isa Pérez-Vega Statement on Arrest of Jan. 6 Insurrectionist and Far-Right Influencer Jake Lang

Friday, February 6, 2026

ST. PAUL, MN— Yesterday, Jan. 6 Insurrectionist and Far-Right Influencer Jake Lang was arrested for property damage after destroying an ice sculpture at the Minnesota State Capitol.  

State Representative María Isa Pérez-Vega (DFL-St. Paul) released the following statement:  

“The arrest of white supremacist leader Jake Lang for property damage on the Capitol grounds sends a clear message: lawlessness and intimidation will not be tolerated. Our Capitol should be a place of safety and public service, not a venue for hate or vandalism. He has been officially trespassed from the premises. I want to express my gratitude to our Capitol law enforcement for their swift action in ensuring our Capitol community remains safe and secure.”
