The leader of the Proud Boys group who was indicted last week on charges including conspiracy related to the Jan. 6, 2021 breach of the U.S. Capitol, has been ordered detained pending trial.

A federal judge in Miami ordered that Enrique Tarrio, 38, be denied bail while he awaits trial, a Department of Justice spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Washington, D.C. confirmed.
