A group of Proud Boys carrying pro-Trump and anti-Antifa signs marched on the streets in Washington as Donald Trump prepared for the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol Rotunda.

Images show a group of people clad in black and yellow carrying flags saying "Proud Boys" downtown, walking near Capital One Arena where thousands are awaiting Trump's arrival.

"Free our boys" was among several chants heard. Some marchers wore matching black jackets with an insignia on the back.

Dozens of Proud Boys leaders, members and associates have been convicted and sentenced to prison in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Former chairman Enrique Tarrio, who is serving 22 years in federal prison after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy, asked Trump for a pardon. It’s unclear whether any might receive pardons promised by Trump.

A large group was heard chanting "51st state," apparently echoing Trump's remarks on Canada, in a video shared on social media.

The extremist group was known for street fights with anti-fascist activists when Trump infamously told them to “stand back and stand by” during his first debate in 2020 with Biden.
