Bill > HR5604

This bill, known as the "National Guard Proper Use Act," amends titles 10 and 32 of the United States Code to prohibit members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard from being ordered to enforce or support the enforcement of immigration laws. The bill specifically references the Posse Comitatus Act, a federal law that restricts the use of military personnel in domestic law enforcement activities. By adding new sections to both titles, the legislation ensures that neither active-duty military members nor National Guard troops can be compelled to perform duties related to immigration enforcement, such as border patrol, detention, or deportation. This prohibition applies to both federal active-duty forces (title 10) and state-controlled National Guard units (title 32), effectively preventing military personnel from being used to implement immigration policies or assist immigration enforcement agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection or Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
