"Mr. Tarrio was the ultimate leader, the ultimate person who organized, who was motivated by revolutionary zeal,” U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly said prior to announcing the sentence. “That conspiracy ended up with about 200 men amped up for battle encircling the Capitol.”Tarrio’s is the latest in a series of sentencings for former Proud Boys members convicted of seditious conspiracy. Notably, Tarrio was not among the hundreds of other Proud Boys members who breached the Capitol. Tarrio was released the next day but ordered to leave the city, so he watched and gave commands from a hotel in Baltimore. “There’s no comparing anybody that was there – including myself – with George Washington or any of the Founding Fathers,” Tarrio said.

Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, leader of The Proud Boys, attends a protest showing support for Cubans demonstrating against their government, in Miami, Florida on July 16, 2021. The former leader of the far-right group Proud Boys is set to be sentenced Tuesday after being convicted of seditious conspiracy to disrupt the 2020 presidential election certification on Jan. 6, 2021. Tarrio's sentencing hearing in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., is scheduled for 2 p.m. Judge Timothy Kelly last week delivered lower sentences than what prosecutors requested for Tarrio's co-defendants, three of whom were also convicted of seditious conspiracy. Ethan Nordean, who led the Seattle chapter of the Proud Boys, on Friday was sentenced to 18 years in prison, tying him with Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes for the longest Jan. 6-related sentence yet.

REUTERS/Evelyn Hockstein E/File photo Acquire Licensing RightsWASHINGTON, Aug 30 (Reuters) - The sentencing hearings for two former leaders of the right-wing Proud Boys who were convicted of seditious conspiracy and other crimes for the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol by Donald Trump supporters were abruptly postponed on Wednesday. Former Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio and another former leader Ethan Nordean were supposed to be the first of five Proud Boys to face sentencing this week, with three other co-defendants due to be sentenced on Thursday and Friday. Prosecutors are planning to ask U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly to sentence Tarrio to 33 years in prison and Nordean to 27 years. Attorneys for Tarrio and Nordean will ask the judge to reject the terrorism enhancement request.

The attack was meant to stop Congress from certifying Democratic President Joe Biden's election, which Trump falsely claims was the result of widespread fraud. "These defendants and the men in their command saw themselves as the foot soldiers of the right — they were prepared to use, and they did use, force to stop the 'traitors' from stealing the election,'" federal prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memo. More than 1,000 people have been arrested on charges related to the Capitol assault, and of those at least 570 have pleaded guilty and 78 have been convicted at trial. All of the five defendants except Tarrio entered the Capitol during the attack. Capitol Police described at a hearing on Tuesday the toll the attack took on them.

Proud Boys Enrique Tarrio and one co-defendant were due to be sentenced Wednesday for their roles in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. Prosecutors were seeking 33 years behind bars for Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy and other charges in May. "Due to an emergency, the court is not proceeding today with sentencings in the Proud Boy cases," the Justice Department first said. An unrelated case also scheduled for Wednesday before US District Judge Timothy Kelly, the judge who would have sentenced Tarrio and Nordean, was also cancelled. "No emergency – Judge Kelly out sick," a spokesman for the US Marshals told Insider three hours after the cancellation.

In addition to Tarrio, Proud Boys members Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs and Zachary Rehl were convicted of seditious conspiracy under a Civil War-era law - a charge that can carry up to 20 years in prison. The trial of the Proud Boys members was the longest of any of those arising from the Capitol attack, with the 12-member jury in federal court in Washington hearing about 50 days of testimony since January. To mobilize, according to prosecutors, Tarrio, Rehl, Nordean and Biggs created what they called the Ministry of Self Defense, comprising about 65 Proud Boys members who exchanged encrypted messages. Defense lawyers told the jury their clients had no plans to attack the Capitol and had traveled to Washington merely to protest. The defense also sought to blame Trump, saying he was the one who urged protesters to descend on the Capitol.

An attorney for Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio blamed Trump for the January 6 riot. "You will never see a message from Enrique Tarrio advocating to storm the Capitol," Jauregui said. In his opening statements, Jauregui also defended the Proud Boys, an organization founded in 2016 that calls itself "Western-chauvinist." Watchdog groups have labeled the Proud Boys as extremist and a hate group. "The Proud Boys think that America is the best."

The trial of Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio and four other members opened Thursday. "Make no mistake…," read one text from Tarrio sent at 2:40 p.m. after rioters broke into the Capitol, according to prosecutors. "I'm proud as fuck at what we accomplished yesterday," read one message from Biggs, according to prosecutors. The DOJ also invoked comments made by Trump during a September 29, 2020, presidential debate, telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" when he was pushed to condemn white supremacists and militia groups. "When it became clear that Donald Trump would be voted out of office," McCullough said Thursday, "these men did not stand back, they did not stand by, instead, they mobilized."

Rep. Zoe Lofgren interrupted the Proud Boys' Enrique Tarrio's Capitol-riot deposition. "I see that Ms. Lofgren has come onto video," a committee lawyer whose name is redacted is recorded as saying. "I just don't understand why that's just such a big deal," Tarrio's lawyer said, dismissing Telegram as "just kind of a really nasty Irish bar scene." Tarrio told committee members: "I took it to be, like, 'Hey, the election's coming up. The Proud Boys seditious-conspiracy trial follows the November seditious-conspiracy conviction of the Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and is expected to last about six weeks.

☆ Violence, chauvinism, and no masturbation allowed: 'We Are Proud Boys' details the 4 tiers of membership in the extremist group

A new book, "We Are Proud Boys," details the four tiers of membership in the extremist organization. The top Proud Boy tier requires an arrest or a "serious violent fight," per founder Gavin McInnes. "The Proud Boys' actions," notes the Southern Poverty Law Center, "belie their disavowals of bigotry: Rank-and-file Proud Boys and leaders regularly spout white nationalist memes and maintain affiliations with known extremists." While Proud Boys are encouraged to boast of their membership, obfuscation is an essential part of being in the group. Tarrio was not in DC the day of the attack but, prosecutors allege, helped direct his fellow Proud Boys' actions from afar.
