Enrique Tarrio, of Proud Boys, sentenced to 22 years in prison for Capitol assault

Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced Tuesday to 22 years in prison for orchestrating his far-right group's attack on the U.S. Capitol in a failed attempt to stop the transfer of presidential power after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Tarrio's sentence is the longest so far among more than 1,100 Capitol riot cases, surpassing the 18-year sentences that Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes and former Proud Boys leader Ethan Nordean received after jurors found them guilty of seditious conspiracy and other charges.
