The Department of Justice requested to dismiss a complaint filed by Proud Boys organizers, who sued the government over their prosecution following the Jan. 6 attack .

In June, five Proud Boys leaders — Enrique Tarrio, Zachary Rehl, Ethan Nordean, Joseph Biggs, and Dominic Pezzola — sued the DOJ, FBI Special Agent Nicole Miller , and several unnamed FBI and DOJ employees for $100 million over how their prosecutions were handled following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The five insurrectionists claimed their prosecutions were political, motivated to “ punish and oppress ” President Donald Trump’s allies, and violated several constitutional amendments.
