Four Proud Boys, including Tarrio, convicted of Jan. 6 seditious conspiracy.

Former Proud Boys chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio and three other members of the extremist group were found guilty of seditious conspiracy in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The verdict was another decisive victory for the Justice Department in the last of three seditious conspiracy trials held after what it called a historic act of domestic terrorism to prevent the peaceful transfer of power from Donald Trump to Joe Biden after the 2020 presidential election. The convictions mark “an important milestone on the journey to accountability for the perpetrators of the insurrection on January 6, 2021 … showing that political violence and attacks on our democratic institutions will be taken seriously by our justice system and will not be tolerated by the American people,” said Lindsay Schubiner, director of programs at Western States Center.
