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 urges restraint regarding the President’s plan to deploy up to 1,000 D.C. National Guard personnel, warning that using military forces in civilian policing risks blurring lines and eroding public trust. NSL4A also calls on Congress to exercise oversight to limit domestic military use.
