A U.S. District Attorney says Enrique Tarrio's sentencing Wednesday has been postponed due to an emergency. No reason was provided.
Former Proud Boys national leader Enrique Tarrio's sentencing has been postponed due to an unexplained emergency, according to a U.S. District Attorney. No new date was immediately given.
Tarrio was a top target in one of the most important Capitol riot cases prosecuted by the Justice Department. He and three lieutenants were convicted in May of charges including seditious conspiracy — a rarely brought Civil War-era offense that the Justice Department levied against members of far-right groups who played a key role in the Jan. 6 attack.
The 33-year prison sentence that prosecutors have recommended for Tarrio, 39, of Miami, is nearly twice as long as the harshest punishment that has been handed down so far in the Justice Department's massive Jan. 6 prosecution. The longest prison sentence so far went to Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, who got 18 years for seditious conspiracy and his conviction on other charges.
