The "No Troops in Our Streets Act of 2025" aims to strengthen congressional oversight of domestic military deployments and federal law enforcement actions. It grants Congress the authority to terminate exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act and federal activations of the National Guard and Reserve through a specific joint resolution of disapproval . These resolutions are subject to expedited legislative procedures in both the Senate and House, including committee discharge and limited debate, to ensure prompt consideration. The bill also appropriates a substantial $900 million for fiscal year 2026 to support state and local law enforcement initiatives. This funding includes $600 million for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, $150 million for community violence intervention, and $100 million for community-oriented policing hiring. A critical provision explicitly prohibits the use of these funds for assigning federal law enforcement personnel to states and localities, reinforcing the bill's focus on local control and preventing federal overreach in domestic security.
