In the summer of 2020, the George Floyd protests in Washington, D.C. generated controversy when National Guard troops were called in to suppress protests, without President Trump invoking the Insurrection Act (though he threatened to do so). One set of troops, the District of Columbia National Guard, has historically operated as the equivalent of a state militia (under Title 32 of the United States Code) not subject to Posse Comitatus Act restrictions, even though it is a federal entity under the command of the President and the Secretary of the Army.[10] National Guard troops from cooperative states were also called in at the request of federal agencies, some of whom were deputized as police.[11] Attorney General William Barr cited[11] 32 U.S.C. § 502(f)(2)(a), which says National Guard troops may engage in “support of operations or missions undertaken by the member’s unit at the request of the President or Secretary of Defense.” Saying the intent of §502 (titled “Required drills and field exercises”) was to cover training exercises only, Senator Tom Udall and U.S. Representative Jim McGovern described this as a “loophole” to circumvent Posse Comitatus Act restrictions, and introduced legislation to close it.[12]

gutless.
The communists are pathetic.
So how and why are they doing it, in your opinion?
Who has the authority to invoke it?
What branches of the Armed Forces are the soldiers deployed in DC?
Yep
There is no insurrection in DC.
It was a small fracas where an unarmed female veteran was murdered in cold blood.
There were, and are, active insurrection in several US cities and NOTHING was done about it
