Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader, has requested a pardon from Donald Trump, claiming unfair targeting by the Biden administration after his 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy.
After being convicted of a key role in the January 6 insurrection, Tarrio received the longest sentence of any January 6 defendant, raising questions about sentencing consistency.
Tarrio's conviction reflects the government's stance that organizing and inciting violent activity surrounding the Capitol riots warrants significant penalties, especially for those in leadership roles.
Trump has promised to review each January 6 case individually for possible pardons, indicating a potential shift in the treatment of rioters under a new administration.
