Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader recently pardoned by Donald Trump for his involvement in January 6th events, was arrested at a press conference near the U.S. Capitol. His arrest, linked to a physical altercation with a counter-protester, highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the Proud Boys and similar groups. Tarrio, along with Oath Keepers' Stewart Rhodes, was convicted of seditious conspiracy. Despite his conviction and a 22-year prison sentence, Tarrio's recent public discussions about running for office suggest persistent aspirations within political frameworks.
The incident took place between the Capitol and Washington's Union Station, drawing significant attention from counter-protestors and law enforcement.
Tarrio's arrest stemmed from a confrontation with a counter-protester who held a phone close to his face, prompting his reaction.
