IIRC the Governor wouldn't have to agree.Back in the 60s,during the civil rights movement,there was at least one incident where a Rat Party Governor mobilized the Guard to prevent a black student from entering a school and JFK just "Federalized" them...and the student was admitted.

All members of the Armed Forces...including National Guard and Reserves...are under the direct command of the President.

Our TX STATE GUARD, THE TX NAVY & our RANGER SERVICE are NOT “federalize-able”.

ImVho, what we NEED to do is REFORM the old RANGER FRONTIER BATTALION & then the Governor should simply tell the Ranger CPT, Commanding to “Clean up the border area.”

I, for just ONE Texican, would rush to the border area to volunteer to help our Rangers. - TRUST ME, IF the call goes out for volunteers, Texans will RUSH to help our Rangers.
(Even at 74, I can operate a radio station, prepare/serve food/drinks, guard detainees & any number of other NON-LEO tasks to free Rangers to enforce TEXAS LAW.)

I believe it was the 101st Airborne that was used, not the National Guard. And even if that happened the Governor could call out the Militia which can’t be federalize.

In the 1950s when Arkansas governor Orville Faunus sought to prevent integration of Little Rock schools, Eisenhower federalized the national guard and enforced the law. The children walked into the school between lines of armed troops.
