What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "National Guard Proper Use Act," aims to amend titles 10 and 32 of the United States Code. It seeks to prohibit members of the Armed Forces from enforcing immigration laws. Additionally, it prevents the National Guard from being ordered to enforce or support the enforcement of immigration laws. The bill aligns these restrictions with the Posse Comitatus Act.
