Henry"Enrique" Tarrio, former national chairman of the Proud Boys, was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison over his role in organizing a large group for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, the longest sentence of the hundreds handed out so far in connection with the attack.
Tarrio was"the ultimate person who organized, who was motivated by a revolutionary zeal," Kelly said, noting the group Tarrio recruited consisted of about 200 people leading breaches that day. Tarrio had initially been scheduled to receive his sentence last Wednesday, before the rest of the co-defendants, but Kelly canceled all of his hearings last minute that day. He returned to the courthouse the following day and clarified that he had been sick. Tarrio's sentencing hearing was rescheduled to occur last instead of first.
Kelly noted that Tarrio had instructed attendees to bring pepper spray and other gear. Sabino countered that the gear was"for Antifa" and not for police officers. “This crime is different, but that difference does not detract from the gravity of what Mr. Tarrio and his co-defendants did,” Mulroe said, adding that they"came so close to succeeding" in causing a"full-blown constitutional crisis."
