Imprisoned Proud Boy and convicted seditious conspiracist Henry “Enrique” Tarrio‘s bid to join former President Donald Trump‘s motion to stay lawsuits seeking to hold him responsible for the violence of Jan. 6 should be ignored, a group of lawmakers urged a federal judge on Wednesday.

The Democratic lawmakers who made the request are tied to the underlying civil case, Lee v. Trump. In addition to suing the former president, they have sued his onetime attorney, Rudy Giuliani, and far-right groups like the Oath Keepers and Proud Boys, accusing them of conspiring to incite an assembled crowd to march on and enter the U.S. Capitol in order to disrupt the Jan. 6 certification. At present, Trump is trying to stay the case, arguing that his pending criminal prosecution by special counsel Jack Smith in Washington, D.C., would prohibit him from responding to the civil suit without incriminating himself.

The plaintiffs include the former chairman of the now-defunct House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., and nine other lawmakers.

Tarrio is named as a defendant in the Lee case as well as two other civil cases in Washington, D.C., tied to Jan. 6. He is currently serving 22 years in prison after a jury convicted him of engaging in a seditious conspiracy to stop the transfer of power by force. The former leader of the extremist group, as Law&Crime reported, made the formal request to join Trump’s motion last month for the sake of “judicial economy.”
