Proud Boys Leader Sentenced Today in Jan. 6 Attack Case

Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys, is set to be sentenced today for his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Prosecutors are seeking a 33-year prison sentence for Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy. The government has applied a "terrorism enhancement" to the sentencing, which could result in longer prison terms. Tarrio's codefendants, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl, and Dominic Pezzola, will also be sentenced this week. The prosecutors argue that Tarrio and his fellow Proud Boys were "foot soldiers of the right" who aimed to keep former President Donald Trump in power.
