Evelyn Thomas—are set to be released from the DC DC Central Cellblock today, April 21st, 2010 beginning at 2:00 pm (ET). The group of six veterans were arrested yesterday after handcuffing themselves to the White House gates to demand that President Obama keep his promise to repeal 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' (DADT) this year. The vets are concerned about mounting signs that the President is wavering on his promise to push for repeal this year. Arraignments for detainees held overnight begin at 2:00 pm (ET) tomorrow and are selected by random order."
