Durbin and Duckworth propose NDAA amendments to enhance military oversight amid Trump's threats to deploy armed forces in Chicago.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth announced seven amendments to the National Defense Authorization Act aimed at increasing oversight in response to President Trump's threats to deploy military forces and ICE to Chicago. The amendments seek to limit military involvement in law enforcement without congressional approval, as well as protect civil rights.
Durbin criticized the President's intentions, declaring, "Deploying the military to Chicago without the request or consent of Illinois’ elected leaders is a clear violation of the law." Duckworth emphasized the need to keep the military focused on its core mission and prevent political misuse of forces.
The proposed amendments include restrictions on using military facilities for detaining migrants and a mandate for prior notification and justification to Congress before military support is provided to law enforcement, among others. Both senators have expressed ongoing concerns regarding the potential deployment of troops in urban areas.
