NSL4A invites partners and media to the West Philadelphia Corridor Collective’s October 14 Zoom briefing to help business leaders prepare for potential National Guard deployments and increased ICE activity. NSL4A speakers include former Under Secretary of the Army Patrick J. Murphy and retired Brig. Gen. Dave McGinnis, joined by Jonathan Grode of Green & Spiegel, LLP.

NSL4A strongly supports the House-passed FY2026 NDAA that preserves the bipartisan Naming Commission’s work, joining LULAC and others in upholding integrity and accountability in the armed forces. The Commission’s efforts ensure military symbols reflect American ideals of unity and service, and reversing its results would disrespect both the process and those principles.

NSL4A unequivocally condemned President Trump’s remarks suggesting U.S. cities be used as military training grounds, warning they threaten public safety, civilian control of the military, and the foundational principles of constitutional governance. Such statements risk normalizing the use of armed forces against American communities and undermine trust in the military’s role in a democracy.”

NSL4A announced its opposition to President Trump’s Executive Order granting the National Guard broad domestic law enforcement powers, calling it “ineffective, wasteful, and dangerous.” The action threatens U.S. democracy by eroding the longstanding separation between civilian policing and the military.

NSL4A is deeply concerned by the sudden firing of Lieutenant General Jeffrey Kruse, DIA Director, part of a troubling pattern of political interference in U.S. intelligence. These actions, including recent removals at the NSA and National Intelligence Council, reflect efforts to bend intelligence to fit political preferences.
