H.R.5604

National Guard Proper Use Act

Introduced·9/26/25

National Guard Proper Use Act prohibits Armed Forces from enforcing immigration laws.

The National Guard Proper Use Act amends titles 10 and 32 of the United States Code to explicitly prohibit members of the Armed Forces from enforcing or supporting the enforcement of immigration laws. This aligns with the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally restricts the military from domestic law enforcement. The bill aims to ensure that military personnel are not tasked with immigration enforcement duties.
