Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D-IL) is barring anyone who participated in the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol from working state jobs in Illinois.

While President Donald Trump has wiped those who participated in the riot’s criminal convictions clean in sweeping pardons he signed on his first day in office, those people will be banned from state jobs in Illinois. Pritzker noted the crimes the rioters committed, including “violence against law enforcement officers, threats against Members of Congress, destruction of federal property,” among other crimes as part of his reason for their ban.

“These rioters attacked law enforcement officers protecting people in the Capitol, disrupted the peaceful transfer of power, and undermined bedrock principles of American democracy,” Pritzker wrote in a letter to Illinois Department of Central Management Services Director Raven DeVaughn.

“No one who attempts to overthrow a government should serve in government,” he added.

The Illinois state government employs roughly 53,000 people.

Pritzker’s order was the first pushback against those who received pardons for their actions that day. According to a Chicago Sun-Times report, Trump’s actions in absolving those taking part in Jan. 6 may have affected more than 50 Illinois residents, including those still facing prosecution.

At the time of the pardon, 43 of the 53 Illinois residents had been convicted and sentenced. Trump additionally ordered the attorney general to dismiss all pending indictments.

Trump pardoned people associated with the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who were convicted of seditious conspiracy. Trump conferred “a full, complete and unconditional pardon to all other individuals convicted of offenses related to events that occurred at or near the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

More than 1,500 people were arrested in connection with the attack, most of whom received pardons. More than 140 police officers were assaulted on Jan. 6.
