Prosecutors are seeking a 33-year prison sentence for Tarrio which, if given, would be the longest sentence related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol attack.
Tarrio is the last of five Proud Boys defendants to be sentenced.
He and three other members of the Proud Boys leadership were found guilty of seditious conspiracy.
District Judge Timothy Kelly has consistently gone far below previous Justice Department sentencing requests for Proud Boys members convicted in this case.
Tarrio’s lawyer Sabino Jauregui fiercely fought additional terrorism sentencing penalties Tuesday, saying that “it was not his intention to bring down the United States government, or overthrow the United States government.”“My client is no terrorist,” Jauregui said.
