Please explain how does this not violate “The Posse Comitatus Act”? Yes I know the act deals with federal military forces. But even if these proposed units are not so designated as such it sure seems that is just what they will be in fact.

The Insurrection Act provides several scenarios where the president can deploy federal troops domestically:
Request by a State Official:
The president can deploy troops at the request of a state's governor or legislature to suppress an insurrection within that state.
Insurrection Against Federal Authority:
The president can deploy troops to suppress a rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States.
Enforcing Federal Law or Protecting Rights:
The president can deploy troops when federal laws are obstructed by unlawful combinations or conspiracies, preventing them from being enforced by ordinary means, or to protect civil rights when a state is unable or unwilling to do so.
