Alam was one of the first rioters to enter the Capitol, climbing through the window on the Upper West Terrace which had been broken open five minutes earlier by Dominic Pezzola, who was helping to lead the charge of the Proud Boys, prosecutors said. Once inside, he went through four floors of the Capitol, “entering offices, kicking a door, harassing officers, and ultimately ending up at the House Main Doors,” according to a sentencing brief filed by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Joseph S. Smith Jr. and Rebekah Lederer.
