Enrique Tarrio, a leader of the right-wing extremist group the Proud Boys, was sentenced to more than five months in jail for burning a Black Lives Matter flag and carrying a large-capacity firearm magazine
He has led the Proud Boys in confrontations with antifa, an amorphous leftist movement.
According to court documents, Tarrio was among a group of Proud Boys during a demonstration in Washington on Dec. 12, 2020, who stole a Black Lives Matter banner from a church. Tarrio then set it on fire, according to comments he made afterward. Tarrio did not take part in the riot, in which supporters of then-President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol, sending lawmakers into hiding as they sought to certify his election defeat to Joe Biden.
