Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison on Tuesday for his role in organizing followers of former President Donald Trump to attack the Capitol on January 6, 2021, marking the longest sentence yet for involvement in the January 6 riots.

The Justice Department requested a 33-year sentence after prosecutors argued Tarrio and three other Proud Boys “unleashed a force on the Capitol that was calculated to exert their political will on elected officials by force and to undo the results of a democratic election.”

Tarrio’s attorneys, however, said he should get a lesser sentence because he cooperated with law enforcement for several undercover drug investigations after a 2012 fraud conviction, and because his mental health has suffered while in jail.
