## Summary

**Would bar members of the Armed Forces and the National Guard from enforcing or supporting enforcement of U.S. immigration laws.** It would do this by adding new sections to Title 10 and Title 32 and by anchoring the ban to the Posse Comitatus Act. - Active-duty service members: The bill would add a new Section 975 to Title 10 so troops under Title 10 could not be ordered to enforce or support enforcement of immigration laws. - National Guard members: The bill would add a new Section 330 to Title 32 so Guard personnel under Title 32 could not be ordered to enforce or support enforcement of immigration laws. - Federal immigration operations: By tying the prohibition to the Posse Comitatus Act, the bill would prevent using Title 10 or Title 32 forces to carry out or back immigration enforcement actions.
