The remains of Brian Sicknick, the Capitol Police officer who died after being injured during the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, arrived at the Capitol on Tuesday night to lie in honor in the Rotunda.

Dozens of Sicknick's fellow officers lined up near the Capitol's steps to wait for his remains to be delivered, and members of the force will have the opportunity to pay their respects throughout the night. President Biden, first lady Jill Biden, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) all visited the Rotunda to pay tribute to Sicknick.
