Tarrio was ordered to stay away from Washington by a D.C. judge a day before the riot. He was sentenced to five months in jail after pleading guilty. He was released from prison in January.
Tarrio was arrested in Miami on Tuesday and is expected to appear in federal court later in the day, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington. He appeared in the federal district court in South Florida on Tuesday. There will be a hearing on Friday.
Tarrio said he recently got a job printing and selling shirts that earn him $400 to $500 a week.
Tarrio is the second significant leader of a right-wing group charged with orchestrating key aspects of the attack. Stewart Rhodes, the national leader of the Oath Keepers, was charged with seditious conspiracy for his group's role in storming the building and threatening the transfer of power.
Tarrio did not leave Washington D.C. immediately after his arrest despite a court order, according to the indictment. He met with Rhodes in an underground parking garage, instead of the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys.
The guilty plea from Matthew Greene came several weeks after he was charged with joining the Capitol attack. The plea deal requires cooperation with the government.
Several unnamed people are referred to in the Tarrio indictment as providing information to the government in connection with the Proud Boys case. An individual who is known to the grand jury is referred to in the indictment as an individual who briefly huddled with Biggs before charging at police barricades. The videos show a man with his arm around a Capitol Police officer as he charged the bike rack.
Tarrio was in frequent contact with other Proud Boys leaders. They've referred to him before. The Proud Boys are urged to not wear their typical yellow and blue attire to prevent easy identification.
Tarrio invoked his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination when he testified to the select committee.
