GOP won’t install Jan. 6 plaque honoring law enforcement, Democrats say

  • Congress authorized a cast bronze plaque to recognize law enforcement officers for their actions defending the Capitol amid the January 6, 2021 attack.
  • Republican leaders, reportedly influenced by President Trump, have refused to install the plaque, fearing it might anger him.
  • The plaque remains stored in a Capitol basement, surrounded by cleaning supplies, rather than being displayed prominently on the Capitol's Western Front.
  • Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries stated that Republicans, guided by their leader Donald Trump, have been instructed to act as if the events of January 6 did not occur, which has prevented the plaque from being installed.
  • The stalled memorial reflects ongoing political divisions and efforts to downplay January 6, which could hinder public recognition of law enforcement bravery and historical truth.
