Proud Boys Suing U.S. for $100M Over Jan. 6 Convictions After Trump Pardons

Some of the Proud Boys who helped lead the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6 are now suing the federal government for at least $100 million, claiming they were mistreated and politically targeted for their beliefs.

The lawsuit, filed in Florida federal court, was brought by several key members of the group, including Enrique Tarrio, Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, and Dominic Pezzola. These men were convicted of serious crimes like seditious conspiracy for their roles in the Capitol breach and were serving long prison terms—until President Donald Trump stepped in and pardoned or commuted their sentences.

Now, they want compensation.

In their legal filing, the group paints themselves as patriotic activists and alleges that the U.S. government targeted them solely for their political views. They claim their prosecutions were part of a broader campaign to silence Trump supporters and label them as extremists.

They also allege mistreatment while in custody, including solitary confinement, lack of medical care, limited access to legal counsel, and violations of attorney-client privilege. The lawsuit accuses the government of displaying open hostility toward their personal and political beliefs.

Despite overwhelming evidence used to convict them—including video footage and their own statements—the lawsuit tries to downplay or deny their involvement in the violence at the Capitol. One member, Pezzola, was caught on video breaking a Capitol window with a stolen police shield. Another, Tarrio, boasted online about their role in the riot.

The Proud Boys’ lawsuit seeks both punitive and compensatory damages, and demands the government cover their legal fees. Copies of the filing were reportedly sent to several Trump-aligned officials and former administration figures.
