Somehow I don't think this is true, or the group in question is not Delta Force. I don't see the President authorizing a SF operation in America to kill Americans (no matter how savage we think they are). They "victims" families would be in court for years arguing about Possee Comitatus and how they had no right to be there.
The other issue I have is "Family member just received a phone call from a brother on the team." I've never known anyone on any SF team to call family before deploying, especially to identify the theater they are operating in.
This sounds like a bad case of telephone. Could it be some elite NG unit instead?

"elite NG unit instead?"
The only "elite" NG unit I can think off are the full time chair warmers who get all the schools, awards and promotions, they think they're elite, but they would bleed to death from a paper cut.
There is no Dboys there. But, Miss. and Alabama both have 20th Special Forces companies there. Same abilites as active guys just guard.
They might be mobilized to go to NO.
Delta is too busy in Iraq to deal with anything.
