Gabriel A. Garcia

Gabriel Augustin Garcia, 43, of Miami, a former U.S. Army captain hand-selected by Enrique Tarrio to join the Proud Boys' national rally-planning "Ministry of Self Defense," recorded himself inside the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot telling then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi to "come out and play" and calling police "traitors." He pleaded not guilty and was found guilty, following a stipulated bench trial on 11/20/2023, of felony obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder and obstruction of an official proceeding; the obstruction-of-an-official-proceeding conviction was later dismissed under the Supreme Court's Fischer v. United States decision. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him on 12/6/2024 to 12 months in prison, 24 months of supervised release, and $2,000 in restitution.
