Here is a higher quality version of this image. Here is the source. Per there:

JANUARY 06: Protesters enter the Senate Chamber on January 06, 2021 in Washington, DC. Congress held a joint session today to ratify President-elect Joe Biden's 306-232 Electoral College win over President Donald Trump. Pro-Trump protesters have entered the U.S. Capitol building after mass demonstrations in the nation's capital. (Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images)

Edit: Here is another picture of this a second or two later earlier (thanks for the correction /u/RestartingMyLife0918). Here is the source.

Edit 2: He wasn't the only person with zip-ties. Here is the source of that image.

Edit 3: Thank you /u/ahecht for providing the source to the second image. It slipped my mind.

I’ve seen multiple posts on social media saying things like “we weren’t there for the building, we were there for the Senators.”

And by the pictures, the cops didn’t have these same ziptie handcuffs at the ready - which is expected at most protests.
