Democrats Pressure House Speaker to Install Overdue Jan. 6 Police Plaque

Hakeem Jeffries criticizes Mike Johnson for delaying the installation of a plaque honoring officers who defended the Capitol.

The plaque, mandated by a 2022 law, honors police officers who responded to the Jan. 6, 2021 attack.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries claims the plaque is finished and awaiting installation.
Republicans have not provided a clear reason for the delay, despite multiple inquiries and pressure from Democrats.
Speaker Mike Johnson's office states they are coordinating with the Capitol architect but offer no timeline.
The delay coincides with National Police Week, where Republicans have focused on other law enforcement issues.
