Illinois Governor JB Pritzker blocks those who participated on January 6, 2021, an attack on the Capitol in the United States from working in state jobs, ignoring President Donald Trump’s attempt to present a clean list last week in a sweeping set of Pardon and movement.
Late Thursday, Pritzker directed the state’s central administration services department, the state’s initial employment authority, to restrict the employment of those who participated in the attack on the Capitol by announcing that they participated in “notorious and disgraceful behavior that is suffering from the state’s mission.”
“They attacked law enforcement officers who protect people in the Capitol, the holidays of the peaceful transfer of power, and undermined the principles of American democracy,” said Pritzker.

Individuals associated with proud children and right -wing guards, who were convicted of bad conspiracy, were among those who were diluted. Trump considered “a complete, complete and unconditional pardon for all other individuals convicted of crimes related to events that occurred in or near Capitol the United States on January 6, 2021”, a category that included people assaulting law enforcement officers.

Illinois employs approximately 53,000 people.
Pritzker also retreated to Trump’s other works, including recently, Confusing Which called for freezing in federal aid. A judge in Washington, DC It was temporarily banned This guidance, the next day, the White House Nullify.
