Delaware Democratic Veterans and Military Families Caucus Statement on National Guard Deployment Washington, DC
Press ReleaseThe Delaware Democratic Veterans and Military Families Caucus condemns the deployment of National Guard soldiers to the District of Columbia and other parts of the country. President Trump is abusing his emergency powers to needlessly create an environment of fear and intimidation to serve his personal and political goals.
Our founders wisely designed a government that reduced the risks associated with an imperial presidency, including a clear understanding that the use of military force was meant to defend the country, not to dominate it.
