From the article:
“But @realDonaldTrump has invoked the Stafford Act.
Months ago.
It allows the regular armed forces to engage in law enforcement.”
Yes he has invoked the Act:
Question is, does it authorize use of the armed forces to do law enforcement?

Q
I read the act re: FEMA which is the primary agency for disaster and emergency response. 192 pages. No law enforcement activity reference at all for the military. Can use the military for 10 days for cleanup.
Outside of IRA, Title 10 forces are typically deployed only after the President declares a Federal emergency or disaster under the Stafford Act or Insurrection Act.
So, absent a Martial Law declaration, it appears the only way to get around the prohibitions of Posse Comitatus is invoking the Insurrection Act. The use of Delta Force as described would be legally prohibited unless there is a 'secret' way to invoke the IA, since the focus of Posse Comitatus is to prevent the use of the Army for these purposes.
This has been my question too. I tried to research, a little, but too much legalese —I could not verify. Maybe some legal beagle will weigh in.
