BREAKING video: Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio was released from jail without bond.
Full 4K footage on the way.
4K video: Proud Boys chairman Enrique Tarrio answers some questions after being released from jail.
He is banned from Washington DC other than for his legal matters before the court.
He says he was arrested at gunpoint last night.
"We're gonna keep fighting," he says.
Enrique Tarrio was picked up by a friend and said his first priority is to get a "hamburger" but that he doesn't know how he'll be getting the city tonight.
I spoke to one of the handful of people who came out to support Enrique as he was freed.
She says "he's a good person" and that he's a "protector, not a destroyer."
These are the mags Enrique was arrested with by the way.
Here's the full 4K footage of Enrique Tarrio's release. Contact me for licensing.

Trump supporters climbed the East Capitol steps where they were confronted by police, but managed to take an officer's riot shield and push through into the building.
An injured Trump supporter is taken out from the Capitol in a stretcher.
Earlier today, pro-@wikileaks activists who had been protesting against the prosecution of #JulianAssange held a party outside the Department of Justice including cake and balloons to celebrate a British court's decision not to extradite.
The United States is expected to appeal.
During the party, a DOJ cop came over to ask about the demonstration, but there were no issues and the group had a permit.
The organizers attempted to get the cops to eat some of the cake, but they didn't bite (literally.)
Here is my video from the event. As always, all footage available to license.
I did film some speeches afterwards, which I didn't stream or post. Anyone looking for footage of those feel free to PM.
VIDEO: Activists organized by @SmashTheFashNVA held a protest this evening outside the Alexandria, VA Holiday Inn hotel demanding they not provide rooms for attendees of Wednesday's "Stop the Steal" rally in DC.
Activist tells me hotel has discount code for rally participants.
"They're hosting the Proud Boys, so they're renting rooms to fascists, and we don't like that" said @JonathanKrallVA.
"We think that these businesses should identify these groups and refuse to rent rooms to them because fascism should be taken seriously."
"The day that Biden won, we had hundreds of thousands of people at Black Lives Matter Plaza," said an activist who asked to be ID'ed as "Bug."
"We need those numbers again. We need those people to be out now, fighting against fascism."
Matt Couch, a relatively prominent right-wing figure (although not a member of the Proud Boys), claims that Enrique Tarrio was arrests on arrival in DC.
This is the incident he was reportedly arrested for (but I’d wait for confirmation to be sure of this.)
Tarrio was present when it happened (drinking a cup of coffee) but didn’t personally burn it.
However, he leads the PB’s and took responsibility in a statement on Parler.
