Former leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes, have been released from prison following a sweeping order from former President Donald Trump. The order benefited over 1,500 defendants charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Tarrio and Rhodes, who were among the highest-profile defendants in the Jan. 6 investigation, had received lengthy sentences for seditious conspiracy related to their roles in the Capitol riot. Rhodes, from Granbury, Texas, was serving an 18-year prison term, while Tarrio, based in Miami, was serving a 22-year sentence.
