Tarrio's attack on the FBI comes after reports last month that he worked for the bureau and other law enforcement agencies in order to receive a shorter sentence for fraud. Wood added that days later, Thomas Johnson, aka Khalil Islam, was arrested and wrongfully convicted to "protect my cover and the secrets of the FBI and NYPD." Johnson was freed on work release in 1988 and died in 2009. "At that time I was not aware that Malcolm X was the target." "On February 16, 1965, the Statue of Liberty plot was carried out and the men were arrested just days before the assassination of Malcolm," Raymond wrote. This includes attempting to lure two members of Malcolm X's security team, Walter Bowe and Khaleel Sayyed, into a plot to bomb the Statue of Liberty so they could be arrested and would not be available to protect the civil rights leader as he gave his speech at the Audubon Ballroom. Wood states that during his time in the NYPD, he committed actions that were "deplorable and detrimental to the advancement of my own Black people." 26, 2020, file photo, Proud Boys leader Henry 'Enrique' Tarrio wears a hat that says The War Boys during a rally in Portland, Ore.

Reuters obtained court documents and transcripts. The judge agreed to reduce his sentence to 16 months, the records show.Enrique Tarrio, the leader of the Proud Boys, has suggested that the FBI orchestrated the murder of Malcolm X and branded the agency "the enemy of the people"-just weeks after it was reported that he used to work as an FBI informer. The leader of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group, Enrique Tarrio, was an undercover informant for police, according to a shocking new report. The prosecutor and Tarrio’s defense attorney both cited Tarrio’s extensive cooperation in arguing that his sentence of 30 months should be cut.
The details of Tarrio’s cooperation, which was first reported Wednesday by Reuters, were found in a transcript of a 2014 hearing in federal court in Florida regarding his sentence for participating in a scheme involving the resale of diabetic test strips. The Proud Boys have railed against a “deep state” and work to break down the current government system, and so the revelations of Tarrio as a federal informant came as quite a surprise. The Proud Boys is a far-right, male chauvinist extremist group that seized on the Trump administration’s policies and was a major agitator during earlier protests and the Capitol riot on Jan. Henry “Enrique” Tarrio helped law enforcement in a variety of investigations nearly a decade ago by providing information and going undercover, the records show. The leader of the Proud Boys, who was arrested in Washington shortly before the Capitol riot, previously worked undercover and cooperated with investigators after he was accused of fraud in 2012, court documents show.
