Juan doesnt know or care that the Guard gets called into Federal duty only when the State governor requests it.
I guess the feds could arrange a coup of every state governor standing in their way. Bringing our foreign policy into domestic play.

This is why Louisiana suffered during Katrina as the State Governor dithered delayed and cried, refusing to authorize Bush to nationalize the Guard, necessitating having actual active duty forces brought in to suppress the snipers targeting first responders in flooded areas. Remember General Honore taking charge? Bush being criticized for violating Posse Comitatus?

It’s also why Trump was limited using National Guard during the violent BLM and Antifa attacks on the US Capitol. State Governors were slow or reluctant to agree to transfer command authority of their Guard units. Trump was forced to deputize many troops as Federal Marshals to use them in a federal response.

DC has its own rules for its Guard units…was a factor in J6 response. Don’t remember exacts
