A man who breached the US Capitol on 6 January 2021 now reports for work inside one of the Pentagon's most secretive offices.
Elias Irizarry pleaded guilty to a federal charge after he climbed through a broken Capitol window holding a metal pole, served 14 days in jail, and later told a judge he had shamed his country. Five years on, the Trump administration has placed him in the Defense Department's Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict office, the unit that oversees counterterrorism, hostage rescue, embassy security, and the recovery of captured personnel.
