WASHINGTON — Enrique Tarrio and four other members of the Proud Boys have been indicted by a federal grand jury on new seditious conspiracy charges related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Tarrio, who has twice been ordered detained pending trial, faces a superseding indictment along with Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, Zachary Rehl and Dominic Pezzola. Tarrio was previously charged in a conspiracy case.

The indictment alleges that Tarrio was aware of discussions around a plan to storm the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and was involved in discussions about occupying buildings, including Capitol complex buildings.

Members of the right-wing Oath Keepers organization were previously indicted on seditious conspiracy charges. The new indictment marks the first time the charges have been brought against members of the Proud Boys. The superseding indictment notes that Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes, the former head of the Oath Keepers, met in an underground garage on Jan. 5.
