No institutional design can overcome a lawbreaking president, a Congress defending lawbreaking and forfeiting its own power, a Supreme Court that pretends legal text doesn’t count to facilitate lawbreaking, and a citizenry that votes for all that.

![Recession and Covid-19 pandemic. Newsom v. Trump, Case No. 25-4870, Dkt. 183, Ex. 14 at 7
(N.D. Cal. Sept. 2, 2025). The number of people reporting to work in California’s private sector
decreased by 3.1% in June 2025 and by 4.9% in July 2025, even though those numbers increased
elsewhere. Id. at 1, 4. The study explained: “As a result of [federal] enforcement actions, many
noncitizens avoided work, school, and other public spaces, leading to declines in consumption,
business, work and employment.” Id. at 2. A Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce official
confirmed that the National Guard deployment harmed “small businesses throughout the region,”
explaining that businesses saw “a sharp decrease in customers,” “increased staffing shortages,”
and incurred “additional costs” for “security” and other expenses. Id., Dkt. 183-3 ¶¶ 5-9.
Attendance at public events in Los Angeles also suffered. For example, the director of an LGBTQ+
organization that holds an annual event in a predominantly Latino neighborhood stated that 2,000
fewer people attended the post-deployment event this year compared to prior years. Id., Dkt. 183-
6 ¶¶ 4, 13-14.
207. Similarly, according to reporting in the Washington Post, the deployment of
National Guard troops in the District of Columbia depressed key industries, including tourism,
restaurants, and hospitality services. Within a week after the deployment of federal troops in D.C.,
foot traffic in the District dropped 7 percent on average, with restaurant reservations showing an
even steeper drop.
208. Defendants’ military incursion into Illinois threatens similar immediate harms by
depressing business activities, travel, and tourism in Illinois communities. Chicago taxes various
sales and services. E.g., Mun. Code of Chi. §§ 3-24-030 (hotel tax), 3-30-030 (restaurant tax); 3-
40-010 (sales tax). Thus, when businesses in Chicago experience declining sales, Chicago receives
less tax revenue.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:bbp2b224lro3bfnzcqwwnkfo/bafkreiatzsyo6bxaqtfnxlcynx4lddhxykyful7i2up2goj64heeamssru@jpeg)
