Representative Patrick Ryan introduces H.R. 10697: No Troops in Our Streets Act of 2026

We have received text from H.R. 10697: No Troops in Our Streets Act of 2026. This bill was received on 2026-10-01, and currently has 5 cosponsors.

Here is a short summary of the bill:

This bill would make two main changes: it would give Congress more direct control over certain deployments of federal troops inside the United States, and it would provide new federal money for state and local law enforcement programs.

Limits on using active-duty military forces inside the country

Federal law generally restricts the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force from being used as civilian law enforcement, with some exceptions. This bill would add a process that lets Congress end those exceptions through a joint resolution of disapproval.

• If the executive branch authorizes an exception that allows active-duty forces to be used in a way normally barred by the Posse Comitatus Act, Congress could vote to terminate that exception.
• The bill sets up fast-track procedures in both the House and Senate for considering such a resolution.
• The resolution would have to specify the authority being disapproved, the military action involved, the location, and how long the prohibition would last.
• The bill also states that if Congress does not act on a particular deployment, courts or agencies should not assume Congress intended approval or disapproval from that silence alone.

Congressional control over National Guard activations

The bill also changes a separate section of federal law dealing with certain National Guard activations under Title 10. It would allow Congress to terminate those activations by passing a joint resolution of disapproval.

New funding for state and local law enforcement

The bill would appropriate new federal money for fiscal year 2026 for several law enforcement-related purposes:

• $600 million for the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant program, which supports state and local criminal justice activities.
• $150 million for a community violence intervention and prevention initiative.
• $50 million for emergency law enforcement assistance, including support for state and local law enforcement in declared emergencies.
• $100 million for grants to hire and rehire career law enforcement officers under the COPS hiring program.

The bill says these funds would remain available until spent.

Restriction on use of funds

Money provided under this bill could not be used to pay for assigning federal law enforcement personnel to states or local governments.

Budget treatment

The bill labels the new funding as an emergency requirement for budget purposes, which affects how it is treated under budget rules.
