Jan. 6 Plaque Honoring Law Enforcement Missing at Capitol Amid Controversy
As the fifth anniversary of the January 6th Capitol attack approaches, the official plaque intended to honor law enforcement for their defense of democracy remains missing. Despite being mandated by law, the plaque has not been installed, with its whereabouts currently unknown, although it is believed to be in storage. House Speaker Mike Johnson has yet to unveil the plaque, and the Department of Justice is attempting to dismiss a lawsuit seeking its display. In the absence of the official memorial, many members of Congress have installed replica plaques outside their offices to ensure the events of January 6th are not forgotten.
