(38,000 posts)I'm guessing USA Today reporter, Will Carless, wouldn't tweet that unless he was fairly sure it happened. He says there'll be a writeup soon.
UPDATE: Two more confirmations

FLASH: Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is indicted in Capitol riot conspiracy.
Feds: Although Tarrio is not accused of physically taking part in the breach of the Capitol, the indictment alleges that he led the advance planning and remained in contact with other members..

Tarrio, who will make his initial court appearance today, was named in a superseding indictment that includes five previously charged Proud Boys defendants.
The indictment is unusual because Tarrio was not present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was arrested two days prior to the insurrection on unrelated charges by Metropolitan D.C. police and was barred by a judge from protesting in the city on Jan. 6.
Federal authorities have reportedly been investigating Tarrio's activities in the run-up to the insurrection, including a brief meeting in a downtown Washington parking garage between the Proud Boys leader and Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers militia group who is also facing conspiracy charges...

My understanding is that the thread that binds them is believing right-wing bullshit, and thinking that men are superior.

(268,994 posts)FBI agents arrested Henry "Enrique" Tarrio, former national chairman of extremist group the Proud Boys, in a dawn raid Tuesday in Florida on conspiracy charges in relation to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
Tarrio, who will make his initial court appearance Tuesday, was named in a superseding indictment that includes five previously charged Proud Boys defendants.
The indictment is unusual because Tarrio was not present at the Capitol on Jan. 6. He was arrested two days prior to the insurrection on unrelated charges by Metropolitan D.C. police and was barred by a judge from protesting in the city on Jan. 6.
