Enrique Tarrio, former leader of the Proud Boys, is set for release from prison after President Trump’s executive order pardoned 1,500 individuals. Tarrio, serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy connected to the January 6 Capitol events, was not present during the riots but was charged due to his role in organizing them. While it remains unclear whether he received a pardon or commutation, his release is seen as a step towards national reconciliation, amidst a broader narrative surrounding justice related to the Capitol riots.
As of reporting, it is not clear whether Tarrio received a pardon or a commutation, however the former Proud Boys leader was not among the names listed for commutation in Trump's executive order.
Despite the fact that Tarrio was not at the Capitol on January 6, 2021, having been arrested two days prior, he was charged with seditious conspiracy for the Proud Boys' role in the Capitol riots.
This proclamation ends a grave national injustice that has been perpetrated upon the American people over the last four years and begins a process of national reconciliation, wrote Trump.
Tarrio is being processed for release from a medium security prison in Louisiana, where he is currently serving a 22 year prison sentence after being convicted of seditious conspiracy.
