Romanian Churches Sue IL Governor for Discrimination
Governor Pritzker has clearly discriminated against churches by limiting in-person services to only ten people while allowing other commercial and secular businesses to operate with large gatherings of people
CHICAGO, IL – Romanian churches have filed a federal lawsuit against Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker for his unconstitutional executive orders discriminating against churches by restricting in-person worship services to no more than 10 people while allowing commercial and non-religious entities to accommodate large crowds. Liberty Counsel represents Elim Romanian Pentecostal Church and Logos Baptist Ministries.
The state police are instructed to fill out “stop cards and field reports” concerning those found in violation of the governor’s executive orders and may receive misdemeanor citations for “Reckless Conduct and Disorderly Conduct under the Illinois code.”
