Crime, Cities, and the Guard: The Legal & Policy Dimensions of Domestic Troop Deployment [2025 NLC]

In recent years, policymakers have used the National Guard to respond to spikes in urban crime and public disorder, raising questions about legality and prudence. What is the legal framework governing the National Guard's use in domestic contexts? How do federal and state authorities share or clash over control? Does troop deployment meaningfully address the long-term challenges posed by persistently high crime rates; or does it risk eroding civil-military boundaries and civil liberties? Are the deployments an effective tool for public safety or a troubling expansion of military involvement in civilian life? This panel will explore the legal authority, historical precedents, and policy tradeoffs surrounding the Guard’s domestic use. Featuring: Mr. Patrick G.
