We are happy to announce that our Defend Hawaii Act is still going strong. Questions have been raised by a number of representatives on whether to add title 10 to strengthen the language. This would make the bill much closer to the original LPHI draft. The recent Newsom v. Trump ruling provides precedent. Track and testify on the bill to make sure the Defend Hawaii Act becomes law. Thank you to all who have already contacted their representatives and submitted testimony. Thi

SB2054 prohibits what the Constitution already bars, but it does so proactively through state law to prevent the very risks the Guard fears. It turns a constitutional principle into a lawful and enforceable shield tailored to Hawaii's context.

The Libertarian Party of Hawaii is proud to announce that a resolution authored by Hawaii Chairman Austin Martin, has been formally adopted by the Libertarian National Committee (LNC). This is how we check power from the bottom up: the national party condemns the abuse, and the state affiliate withholds the resources that make the abuse possible.

SB2054, was introduced on January 21, 2026, opening day of the legislative session. Sponsored by eight Democratic senators, it amends Hawaii Revised Statutes §121-30 to prohibit Hawaii National Guard units (when under state control or Title 32 duty) from assisting, cooperating with, or providing resources to federal troops, federal law enforcement, or out-of-state National Guard forces deployed in Hawaii if the Governor objects to those deployments.
