Proud Boys Sentencing Delayed Again in January 6 Case

Sentencing hearings for former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and member Ethan Nordean were abruptly cancelled minutes before their scheduled appearances, citing an unspecified emergency. The hearings have been rescheduled for September. Tarrio and three other Proud Boys members were found guilty of seditious conspiracy for their roles in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. Prosecutors are seeking lengthy prison sentences for Tarrio and Nordean. The cancellations come amidst a wave of high-profile activity at the E Barrett Prettyman Courthouse related to the January 6 attack, including the sentencing of Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes. The Justice Department's efforts have resulted in over 1,000 arrests and 700 convictions in connection with the attack.
