A Proud Boys leader from Millersville who beat police officers at the U.S. Capitol in 2021 was among the hundreds of Jan. 6 defendants pardoned by President Donald Trump earlier this month,

More than a dozen people identified by the previous administration as members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and arrested for involvement in the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol Riot were pardoned this week by President Donald Trump.

The return of battle-hardened leaders ... will further radicalize and fuel recruitment platforms,” said Jacob Ware, a Council on Foreign Relations research fellow.

Tarrio said that he wished he had the president "on speed dial" during an interview with CNN's Laura Coates on Friday.

A day after U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping grant of clemency to all of the nearly 1,600 people charged in connection with the 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, America’s far-right celebrated. Some called for the death of judges who oversaw the trials.

Stewart Rhodes and Enrique Tarrio, who received some of longest sentences for the US Capitol attack, freed from prison.

Rehl, a former leader of the Philly Proud Boys, had been sentenced to 15 years for seditious conspiracy. But after Trump commuted his sentence, he walked out of prison a free man.

Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the far-right Proud Boys, was among nearly 1,600 January 6 defendants who were either pardoned or had their sentences commuted. He is expected to be in Miami by Tuesday afternoon.

Five of the Oath Keepers who had sentences commuted by the president -- including Rhodes, who was facing 18 years in prison for seditious conspiracy -- were military veterans.

Rhodes was sentenced to 18 years in May 2023 after a jury found him guilty of conspiring to stop the transfer of power and other charges. In September 2023, Tarrio, who asked Trump for a full pardon on the fourth anniversary of the insurrection, was sentenced to 22 years.
