Biography
Calvin Zastrow, Gallagher cluster co-defendant in the March 5, 2021 Mt. Juliet TN clinic blockade. Convicted; 6 months federal prison. Pardoned by Trump January 23, 2025.
In an October 11, 2024 response filed in Sixth Circuit No. 24-5643, the United States opposed Zastrow’s request for release pending appeal of the Tennessee clinic-blockade convictions. The filing describes a six-month prison sentence and three years of supervised release, and gives October 15, 2024 as his scheduled reporting date. It discusses his constitutional challenges and courtroom closure during jury selection. This document is the government’s opposition, not the appellate court’s disposition. A scheduled report date does not by itself prove the day he physically entered prison, so no exact service total is derived from it.

The DOJ clemency list preserved in a January 13, 2026 congressional attachment includes Calvin Zastrow in the January 23, 2025 FACE Act pardons. The table lists the imposed prison term as six months in Tennessee, July 3, 2024. This confirms the grant and the listed sentence, not that the full term was served or the exact day of physical release.

Documented case history
The signed judgment imposed six months imprisonment on July 3, 2024, concurrent on the two counts, followed by three years of supervised release. Six months of home detention was a supervision condition, not six additional months in prison. October 15, 2024 was a surrender deadline in the judgment; the executed-return fields are blank, so it does not independently establish an actual admission day.
