Durbin, Duckworth Statement On Supreme Court Ruling Blocking Deployment Of National Guard Troops To Chicago
CHICAGO - U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and U.S. Senator Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) released the following statement after the Supreme Court declined to stay a federal judge's temporary restraining order that blocked President Trump's plans to deploy the National Guard to Chicago:
"It's long past time for the Trump Administration to back off Chicago. The majority of Americans believe they've gone too far, and even the Supreme Court's conservative supermajority refused to greenlight this blatantly unlawful overreach. Our government is supposed to help our communities-not go to war with them.
"Immigrants make our country better, and we will keep fighting like hell to protect the promise of America."
