Ex-Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio faces lengthy prison sentence for Jan. 6 riot
Enrique Tarrio, the former national chairman of the Proud Boys convicted for seditious conspiracy for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, is set to be sentenced to federal prison today.
Tarrio's originally scheduled sentencing hearing was postponed last week after Judge Timothy Kelly fell ill.
Prosecutors want him sentenced to 33 years in prison for his role in conspiring with his lieutenants to stop the certification of the 2020 presidential election results in Congress and to keep former President Donald Trump in power.
So far, Tarrio's co-defendants in the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy case have been sentenced to prison stays far shorter than what the government requested of the court.
Though Tarrio is considered one of the leaders of the plan to take over the U.S. Capitol, it's likely he will face a sentence in line with his co-defendants and fellow leaders of the Proud Boys.
