Durbin criticizes the Trump Administration's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago, citing concerns over legality and public safety.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Dick Durbin has publicly criticized the deployment of Texas and Illinois National Guard troops to Chicago, labeling it an unlawful act by the Trump Administration. He claims the deployment serves political motives rather than public safety, stating, "President Trump has shown us his unlawful and inhumane priorities over and over again."
Durbin emphasized that such actions are against the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military involvement in civilian law enforcement. He expressed concern that these tactics escalate fears in communities rather than providing safety, asserting, "This Administration’s unlawful use of military resources to police American cities makes our country less safe."
Durbin called for accountability, stating he will work to remove the troops and criticized the Trump Administration for its perceived neglect of Illinois' safety needs. He concluded, "The actions taken by this Administration undermine the very fabric of America—a nation that was founded on a belief that all people should be free from tyranny."
