The White House returned fire on Washington, DC, Mayor Muriel Bowser on Thursday, saying her lack of “leadership” forced President Trump to order a massive federal deployment to pacify anti-police brutality protests.

Not in DC. From Wikipedia, “The District of Columbia National Guard is the branch of the United States National Guard based in District of Columbia. It comprises both D.C. Army National Guard and D.C. Air National Guard components. Joint Force Headquarters of the D.C. National Guard. The president of the United States is the commander-in-chief of the District of Columbia National Guard.”
He doesn’t need her permission to call up those units. However, they need to be housed somewhere and the third amendment still applies.
