Indian American Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) has welcomed the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to decline President Donald Trump’s attempt to proceed with a National Guard deployment into Chicago.

“Today’s Supreme Court decision blocking President Trump’s attempt to deploy the National Guard into the Chicago area is an important step forward in stopping a clear abuse of his office—but it applies only to this case,” Congressman Krishnamoorthi said, adding, “I introduced the Stop Trump’s Abuse of Power Act to clarify and limit a president’s authority to deploy the military or National Guard to any American city and prevent the use of servicemembers as political props. Congress must act to ensure President Trump cannot misuse our servicemembers this way again.”

The Congressman noted that Illinois has “stood united” in opposing what he described as an illegal and political deployment since the outset. He also praised J. B. Pritzker’s leadership, stating, “I applaud Governor Pritzker’s leadership as we all fight back together. We will continue to stand united no matter what this administration throws our way.”
