091725 Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Military Occupation Of Chicago
Trump just threatened to invade Chicago with military troops—despite courts ruling similar deployments illegal.
The shocking facts:
Trump threatens to deploy thousands of National Guard troops to Chicago.
His plans target civilian law enforcement—which is banned by federal law.
Federal courts already ruled similar deployments unconstitutional.
Illinois’s governor and Chicago’s mayor are united in opposition, calling it an "invasion."
Trump’s plan would violate the Posse Comitatus Act—the law preventing a military police state.
In solidarity,
