States control the state National Guard. ONLY a Governor can call them up for anything.

Actually, yes - that is even IN THE US CODE. President can’t call up the NG without the governours doing it for him.

The reason why I ask is this — I can conceive of a DEFIANT governor who will call the State’s National Guard to stand in the way of refugees being repatriated to their state.

This act could pave the way for a constitutional crisis.

State rights vs the Fed.

Who wins is anybody’s guess.
