Legislative Update – September 4, 2025

Federalization of DC Police and National Guard Deployment “inhumane, unnecessary, provocative, and ineffective…”
The National Council of the Churches of Christ in the USA (NCC) affirms that every human being is created in the imago dei—the image and likeness of God—and deserves to be valued and treated as such. Doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with our God (Micah 6:8) is a mandate for those who profess to serve God.
The current administration’s decision on Monday to federalize the DC Police and deploy the National Guard in our Nation’s Capital to patrol streets and round up people experiencing homelessness is antithetical to that biblical mandate and our ecumenical Christian values.

NCC urges U.S. elected officials to use our nation’s resources and military might to be peacemakers, not provocateurs, especially in places where American leadership can be the difference between chaos and calm or war and peace.
