Ethan Nordean, the self-described “sergeant-at-arms” and president for the Seattle chapter of the Proud Boys, will be released from prison pending his trial in federal court, facing charges for his role in the Jan. 6 siege on the U.S. Capitol.
This ends a lengthy back-and-forth that saw a federal magistrate judge order Nordean’s pretrial release in early February, before a Washington, D.C., district judge blocked that release pending further review. Nordean was then scheduled to be transferred to D.C. to face the charges against him, a process that has since been delayed by weather and backlogs.
