Speaker Johnson And Leader Jeffries Host House Memorial Vigil For Sarah Milgrim And Yaron Lischinsky

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 10: Former U.S. Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL) speaks "They are not slogans for a social justice movement. They are incitement to violence. Everyone must call that out forcefully and with clarity. Words matter. For generations, they have had deadly consequences for me, for my family, for my people. For Sarah and Yaron. This shouldn't be hard. The fight against Jewish hate cannot be political. We cannot allow vigils like this to become the norm. We must act now" as Speaker of the House Rep. Mike Johnson (R-LA), House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and members of Congress listen during a memorial vigil hosted by Johnson and House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) outside of the U.S. Capitol on June 10, 2025 in Washington, DC. The vigil was held for two Israeli embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky, 30, and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, 26, who were shot and killed as they left the Lillian and Albert Small Capital Jewish Museum on May 21.
