Capitol Riot 2021

Five members of a Borger, Texas, family were arrested for taking part in the Jan. 6 insurrection. They appeared before a federal judge in Amarillo Wednesday.

Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman said the U.S. Capitol Police has been working in the aftermath of the attack to "pivot towards an intelligence-based protective agency."

After Senate Republicans blocked a bill to create an outside independent commission to investigate the attacks on the U.S. Capitol, Pelosi said a special panel is needed to lead an investigation.

Two Senate committees have found that U.S. Capitol Police and other authorities were in possession of more alarming intelligence clues ahead of the Jan. 6 attack than previously documented.

The bill creating the commission, which would have subpoena power, passed 252-175. Republican U.S. Reps. Tony Gonzales of San Antonio and Van Taylor of Plano were the only two GOP Texans to support the measure.

A forthcoming report says DHS officials had the intelligence they needed to predict that the pro-Trump rally would become violent. What was missing was DHS telling the people who needed to know.

Guy Wesley Reffitt, one of more than 400 federal defendants charged in the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol, has been identified by prosecutors as a member of a militia-style group linked to the anti-government Three Percenters extremist movement.

George Tanios and Julian Khater have been accused of conspiring to assault U.S. Capitol Police officers, including Brian Sicknick, who were protecting the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Responding to a critical inspector general's report, the U.S. Capitol Police acknowledges that "much additional work needs to be done," but that it will need "significant resources" from Congress.

The watchdog review of January 6 also found that some advance intelligence offered a "more alarming" warning that Congress itself was a target, and the force was severely unprepared.

Leading members of the far-right gang known as the Proud Boys are facing federal conspiracy charges in the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Ahead of the riot, members of the group called for "war."

Texans accounted for roughly 1 out of every 10 people arrested for the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
