At Least 19 Texans Face Charges In The Wake Of The U.S. Capitol Siege

Three more Texans have been charged in the aftermath of the U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6. At least 19 Texans are now facing charges.

Garland Resident Daniel Phipps was arrested Tuesday after law enforcement said they discovered evidence on social media that he took part in the Capitol insurrection. In several posts attached to a federal affidavit, someone purported to be Phipps can be seen in what appears to be the inside of the Capitol building.

“I went to DC. I helped take the Hill," he said in one Facebook post, according to court documents.

Phipps is now being charged with knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority, and violent entry and disorderly conduct on capitol grounds.
