On January 23, the President issued pardons for 23 anti-abortion extremists who had been convicted of violating the federal Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
Several of them were convicted in Washington, DC, after forcing their way inside a clinic using chains, locks, ropes, and other implements. During this live-streamed assault, they injured a nurse and harassed patients. One of those pardoned was found with five fetuses in her house at the time of her arrest.
This continues the early pattern of Trump offering pardons to people convicted of violent crimes.

Apparently the clinic was not a Tesla dealership.
Maybe this hasn't been mentioned yet because it is "just a wimins feature piece / backgrounder/ analysis",
