Today, U.S. Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement following the passing of U.S. Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick, who passed away due to injuries sustained during the riots on Wednesday, January 6, according to USCP:

“U.S. Capitol Police officers put their lives on the line every day defending the seat of American government. Officer Brian Sicknick was sworn to protect my wife, girls, and all Americans. Every perpetrator of violence and destruction during Wednesday’s attack must be found and charged to the fullest extent of the law. Please join Camille and I in praying for Officer Sicknick’s family and friends, and all of our valiant law enforcement officers.”
