I read a recent Brennan Center article on this just by chance earlier today. Their upshot was that MOST situations are going to require at least the consent of the state's governor, even if the NG troops are under federal control.

 

The one exception to that would be the president invoking the Insurrection Act, which would really be a step into political/constitutional outer space, but not one I would put past Trump.

 

The President’s Power to Call Out the National Guard Is Not a Blank Check

November 18, 2024

 

...

"The Guard’s June 2020 operation in D.C. was unprecedented; § 502(f) had never before been used for a federally requested deployment in response to civil unrest. Historically, when presidents have desired to deploy the military for this purpose, they have invoked the Insurrection Act and deployed either active-duty federal troops or federalized National Guard. The District of Columbia’s unusual status within the United States’s federal system presents a second question: whether the deployment of unfederalized, out-of-state Guard troops into a nonconsenting jurisdiction would be lawful if that jurisdiction were a state. The answer to both of these questions is no.

...

The word “request” in § 502(f)(2)(A) is significant. The president or the secretary of defense may ask a governor to deploy National Guard troops, but the governor is under no obligation to acquiesce. This reading is supported by 32 U.S.C. § 328, which makes clear that a governor is the party empowered to order National Guard troops to duty under either prong of § 502(f). A governor’s right to refuse was evident in the summer of 2020—the Trump administration asked a total of 15 governors to deploy their Guard personnel into Washington, but four declined to do so.

...

Moreover, regardless of Congress’s intent, deployments of the National Guard in Title 32 status must in all cases respect the co-equal and territorially limited sovereignty of the states. As a constitutional matter, the deployment of unfederalized Guard personnel into a nonconsenting state is never permissible. If the president wishes to unilaterally deploy military forces into a nonconsenting state, then they must do so through the statutory mechanism that Congress has provided for this purpose since 1792: the Insurrection Act.

That's one opinion...

 

I wonder if Gov George Wallace agreed to having federal troops?

That's probably already happening. Camp Pendleton is just up the road from LA. Right up I-5. Depending on the rush hour traffic, it could be a quick trip. Maybe a one hour drive. I'm not sure they'd divert traffic on that segment of I-5, and the only time it really quiets down is about 3-4AM. I used to live in Del Mar, close enough to I-5 that I could hear the traffic at rush hour, and notice its absence very late at night.  Anyway, don't think there Marines couldn't show up on short notice. 

The insurgents would block the roads similar to what their counterparts have done on city streets, bridges and access roads to airports! They’ve become tactical experts at this!

If the Marines come better to copter them in, especially when local law enforcement are suspect at helping to provide safety.

 

"The law cited by Trump's proclamation places National Guard troops under federal command. The law says that can be done under three circumstances: When the U.S. is invaded or in danger of invasion; when there is a rebellion or danger of rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government, or when the President is unable to “execute the laws of the United States,” with regular forces.

 

But the law also says that orders for those purposes “shall be issued through the governors of the States.” It's not immediately clear if the president can activate National Guard troops without the order of that state's governor."

From the same source above, the Civil Rights era National Guard deployments involved the president invoking the Insurrection Act, which is clearly the one legal scenario where the governor's consent is not required:

 

"The Insurrection Act and related laws were used during the Civil Rights era to protect activists and students desegregating schools. President Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas, to protect Black students integrating Central High School after that state’s governor activated the National Guard to keep the students out."

We all know who planned and orchestrated January 6, and it wasn't Trump.  He didn't incite anything.  It would be fun to watch, though, if they actually arrested and put on trial the people who did.  

So who was the fat bloke in the black overcoat who stood outside the White House on January 6th 2021 and told the crowd to march on the Capitol and fight?

Good question.   

 

No, Governor George Wallace did  not agree to having federal troops intervene at the University of Alabama to enforce desegregation in June 1963. Instead, President John F. Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard troops and deployed them to the university to force its desegregation, according to the History Channel. Wallace had little choice but to yield to the federal pressure and step aside, allowing Vivian Malone and James Hood to register for classes. This event, known as the "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door," was a symbolic attempt by Wallace to uphold segregation. 

 

Later in September 1963, Wallace again tried to block desegregation at a public school in Tuskegee, Alabama, but President Kennedy once more used his executive authority to federalize National Guard troops, and Wallace again had to yield

. 

However, there is an interesting historical footnote concerning the Selma-to-Montgomery marches in 1965: In this case, History.com recounts that Governor Wallace initially refused to call out the Alabama National Guard to protect civil rights marchers, but then demanded that President Lyndon B. Johnson send in federal troops instead. Furious, Johnson refused and instead federalized the Guard himself, stating that because Wallace refused to use the available troops, Johnson was calling them up to ensure order.

You left out the peacefully and patriotically part. But that's okay, you're a leftist, so you can lie however you see fit, yes? 

 

Your press tells you the lie, and you regurgitate the lie, it as a good party member should.

I wonder if the idiot protestors carrying Mexican flags realize that looks a lot like a foreign invasion.  Which, of course, would trigger a military response.

Attacking federal agents while carrying foreign flags.  Looks like a foreign invasion to most reasonable people. 

 

Calling in the Marines seems like the prudent thing to do...  To repel the invasion.

 

Edit:  I just hope they stop at San Diego and don't go south and take Baja.  Though that would probably be great for residents there.  They'd see quite the improvement to their living standard.

Can the marines be used during a insurrection? 

Yes, the U.S. government can use the Marines during an insurrection under certain conditions. The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the President to deploy military forces, including the Marines, to suppress domestic insurrections, rebellions, or unlawful obstructions of federal law when requested by a state or when federal authority is directly challenged. This authority is outlined in 10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255. The President must issue a proclamation ordering insurgents to disperse before deploying troops, as seen in historical examples like the Whiskey Rebellion or the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

No surprise here. These people have gotten away with so much for so long that they truly believe that they have the right to flaunt our laws. Time long overdue to round them up, prosecute the US citizens and deport the illegals. The Dems are in an uproar because this administration is in the process of removing the criminals from our country that the Biden administration let walk in. Newsom and his cronies sat back and did absolutely nothing to prevent them from entering Calif.

Let's try to protest that we have the right to stay in Thailand illegally - and see what happens. Ha.

I was born in '57, and when I was a kid, the Mexicans were Americans within a generation. I went to a grade school that was about 80% Mexican Americans, and no one spoke Spanish in class.
