Quiver AI Summary

U.S. Representative Robin Kelly held a press conference with community violence intervention leaders and gun safety advocates in Chicago to oppose President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard. This meeting followed a federal judge's temporary block on Guard activities in Illinois, as Kelly emphasized the adverse impact of Trump's actions on local anti-violence funding.

Criticizing the president's stance, Kelly highlighted a cut of $16 million in funding for community violence intervention programs, arguing that deploying the National Guard is a misuse of taxpayer funds during a government shutdown. She called for more support for proven local initiatives rather than militarized responses to violence.

Community leaders, including Diane Latiker from Kids Off the Block and Father Michael Pfleger, echoed Kelly's sentiments, advocating for investment in community-based solutions rather than temporary military measures.
