Jan. 6 officers sue over missing honorary plaque at Capitol
- Two law enforcement officers who protected the U.S. Capitol during the January 6, 2021 attack have initiated legal action to require Congress to install a commemorative plaque honoring the police who responded that day.
- The lawsuit follows Congress passing a 2022 law mandating the plaque's installation by March 2023, but Republican leadership has not directed its placement.
- Officers Harry Dunn and Daniel Hodges, who testified about the riot and endured injuries and harassment, are plaintiffs seeking recognition for their service amid political resistance.
- The official responsible for Capitol maintenance confirmed the plaque is finished but remains uninstalled because House Speaker Mike Johnson has not approved its placement, leading Democrats to protest by displaying poster versions of the memorial.
- The officers' legal action highlights broader tensions over acknowledging the January 6 attack, as political allies of President Trump resist honoring the law enforcement response.
