Enrique Tarrio and four other members of the extremist group are accused of plotting to attack the U.S. Capitol in a desperate bid to overturn Biden's victory.
Tarrio and four of his lieutenants are heading to trial in Washington just weeks after two leaders of another extremist group, the Oath Keepers, were convicted of seditious conspiracy in a major victory for the Justice Department's extensive Jan. 6 prosecution.
Tarrio wasn't in Washington on Jan. 6 because he had been arrested two days earlier on charges that he vandalized a Black Lives Matter banner at a historic Black church during a protest in December 2020. But prosecutors say he was the leader of a conspiracy to stop the transfer of power from President Donald Trump to Biden.
"January 6 will be a day in infamy," Biggs said in a video outside the Capitol, according to court papers.Officers who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, from supporters of then-President Donald Trump in a brutal attack were honored with Congressional Gold Medals on Dec. 6, 2022.
