No Troops in Our Streets Act of 2025

# No Troops in Our Streets Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would restrict the federal government's ability to deploy active-duty military troops domestically within the United States. Specifically, it would place limits on when and how the Posse Comitatus Act—an existing 1878 law that already restricts military use in domestic law enforcement—can be waived or suspended. The bill aims to make it harder for the federal government to invoke exceptions that currently allow military deployment during emergencies or insurrections. **Who It Affects** The bill would impact federal policymakers, military leadership, and potentially state and local authorities who might otherwise coordinate with federal troops during crises.

It could affect emergency response procedures during natural disasters, civil unrest, or national security emergencies where military assistance might currently be available. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee, meaning it has been introduced but has not yet been debated or voted on by the full Senate. It was sponsored by Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-Michigan). The bill would need to pass committee review, Senate debate, House approval, and presidential signature to become law.
