Father of DC Terror Suspect Honored by Far-Left Congressman at Presidential Address
- On May 21, 2025, Elias Rodriguez, a 30-year-old from Chicago, was charged with the murders of two employees of Israel’s diplomatic mission who were shot as they left an event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C.
- The shooting occurred shortly after the victims attended a humanitarian aid event for Gaza, and investigators are examining a manifesto associated with Elias that reportedly includes rhetoric opposing Israel.
- Elias allegedly fired nearly two dozen rounds, shouted "free, free Palestine" after his arrest, and was taken into custody by D.C. Police at the scene.
- Eric Rodriguez, Elias’s father, is an Iraq War veteran, a Department of Veterans Affairs employee, and was invited by Democratic Rep. Jesús García to attend President Trump’s March 5, 2025, Joint Address to Congress as a union advocate.
- Following the shooting, Rep. García condemned the act as a "horrible, senseless act of antisemitism," and law enforcement is treating the case as a potential hate crime and act of terrorism.
