Illinois lawmakers demand President Trump halt military deployment in Chicago, citing concerns over legal authority and community safety.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth, alongside other members of the Illinois congressional delegation, has urged President Trump to halt the planned deployment of military personnel to Chicago. They claim this move represents an "unlawful power grab" and express concerns that it is politically motivated, with Duckworth asserting that the military's presence is more about control than safety.
The group argues that the deployment is unnecessary given Chicago's declining crime rates, including a 22% drop in violent crime and significant reductions in homicides and shootings. They emphasize that there is "no emergency in Chicago" to warrant such action, suggesting the administration should instead focus on community support and intervention measures.
The letter, signed by several Illinois representatives, also critiques the large-scale military action as potentially wasteful and damaging to military readiness, urging prioritization of local needs over what they characterize as a manufactured crisis by the Administration.
