Elias Irizarry, a graduate of The Citadel Military College and one of the youngest January 6 defendants, reportedly serves as a political appointee under Assistant Secretary Derrick Anderson in the Department of Warโs Office of Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict.
Irizarry was convicted of a misdemeanor for entering the U.S. Capitol and sentenced to 14 days in federal prison. He later received a presidential pardon from President Trump at the beginning of his second term and reportedly joined the Pentagon in early 2025 under Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
