Capitol Hill Riots

Sicknick, 42, was a former staff sergeant with the New Jersey Air National Guard who served from 1997 to 2003.

Support for the National Guard to continue its mission securing the U.S. Capitol has hit rock bottom.

"It seems cause and effect, yeah," Christopher Miller told VICE broadcasting company in an interview that will air Sunday on...

Television station WJLA reported that the Guard member was found at the JW Marriot Hotel.

The National Guard's extended mission will give the beleaguered Capitol Police more time to adjust to their "new reality."

Some 2,300 National Guard troops will remain deployed to Washington, D.C. until at least May 23.

The security review recommended establishing a permanent National Guard quick reaction force, or QRF, for all of D.C.

The U.S. Capitol Police asked the Defense Department to keep thousands of troops in D.C. for up to two more months.

In all, some 26,000 National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C., to support President Joe Biden's inauguration.

Capitol Police made the request a day after the agency announced it had uncovered a plot to attack the U.S. Capitol.
