The fiancée of an officer who died after responding to the Jan. 6, 2021 riots on the U.S. Capitol has taken legal action againstDonald Trump.

Sandra Garza, the partner of late officer Brian Sicknickfiled a civil lawsuit against Trumpand two rioters — Julian Khater and George Tanios — on Thursday, the attorney for Sicknick’s estate, Matt Kaiser, announced.

Trump, Khater, and Tanios are being sued for wrongful death, civil rights conspiracy, assault and other unnamed allegations, Kaiser said in the release shared via Twitter. He noted that the lawsuit was filed the day before the second anniversary of the Jan. 6 riots.

Kaiser said the lawsuit aims to “hold accountable those who caused the death of Officer Sicknick as he defended the United States Capitol.”

“Nothing can return Officer Sicknick to his fiancée or his family, but this lawsuit is an important part of the process of holding those who caused his death accountable,” said Kaiser in a statement included in the release.

He alleged that Trump “called Khater and Tanios to Washington D.C. to attack the Capitol and they answered.”

“This directly caused Officer Sicknick’s death,” added the attorney, who later noted that Garza represents Sicknick’s estate and will donateany money awarded from the lawsuitto charity.

Garza is suing for $10 million, CBS News Congressional Correspondent Scott MacFarlane shared via Twitter.

The filing added that “The horrific events of January 6, 2021, including Officer Sicknick’s tragic, wrongful death, were a direct and foreseeable consequence of the Defendants' unlawful actions,” per the outlet.

Kaiser and his legal team state in papers that the former president told his fanbase to “fight like hell” and “show strength” ahead of the violent protests, CNN reported.
