Five Proud Boys could see record prison sentences for Jan. 6 Capitol riot — Proud Boys leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio wears a hat that says The War Boys during a rally in Portland, Ore., on Sept. 26, 2020. The Justice Department said Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023, it is seeking 33 years in prison for Tarrio, convicted of seditious conspiracy in one of the most serious cases to emerge from the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

A federal judge will sentence five defendants in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot this week to what could be decades in prison after they were convicted for their role in organizing the riot in the aftermath of the 2020 election.
