Illinois governor bans hiring Capitol rioters for state jobs, overriding Trump's pardons.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker has banned hiring individuals involved in the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot for state jobs, despite President Trump's pardons. Pritzker instructed the Department of Central Management Services to enforce this directive, citing the participants' actions as "infamous and disgraceful." This move marks a significant pushback against Trump's post-presidential use of pardons and could face legal challenges.
