Henry "Enrique" Tarrio[7] (US English: /ˈtɑːrioʊ/ TAR-ee-oh, US Spanish: [taˈri.o]; born 1983 or 1984) is an American convicted seditionist[8] and far-right activist. From 2018 to 2021, he was the chairman of the Proud Boys,[7] a neo-fascist organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.[9] Along with three other Proud Boys leaders, Tarrio was convicted in May 2023 of seditious conspiracy for his role in the 2021 United States Capitol attack. In September 2023, Tarrio was sentenced to 22 years in prison.[6][10]

Tarrio, who is of Afro-Cuban background, was the Florida state director of the grassroots organization Latinos for Trump.[11][12][13] In 2020, Tarrio was a candidate in the Republican primary election for Florida's 27th congressional district, but withdrew.[3][4][14] According to a former federal prosecutor and the transcripts of a 2014 federal court proceeding, Tarrio had served as an informant to both federal and local law enforcement from 2012 to 2014.[15][16][17]
