Adriano Espaillat, a U.S. Congress representative for New York's 13th district, shared a series of posts on April 8, 2025, regarding his involvement in the Legislative Branch Subcommittee and the recognition of Capitol Police officers. Espaillat, who succeeded Charles Rangel in 2017, has a long history in public service, including roles in the New York State Assembly and Senate.
On April 8, 2025, Espaillat tweeted, "Tune in now where I preside as Ranking Member of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee hearing with the United States Capitol Police".
Espaillat posted an additional update later the same day, "Sintoniza ahora mientras presido como miembro de alto rango la audiencia del Subcomité del Poder Legislativo junto con la Policía del Capitolio de los Estados Unidos."
On the evening of April 8, 2025, he commented on the absence of recognition for Capitol Police, "Four years since the insurrection. Two years since the law was signed. Still no plaque honoring the brave @CapitolPolice officers who protected us on that dark day at the Capitol. @SpeakerJohnson, it’s time. Stop the delay. Honor their sacrifice."
