The Occupying Power may not enter into any special agreements that would adversely
affect the situation of protected persons, as defined by the GC, nor restrict the rights that the GC
confers upon them.120
Is that why the military couldn't rush in while Trump was in the White House? Because he was a "protected person"? Which effectively tied their hands?
I don't think so. DC wasn't considered under the authority of hostile forces while Trump was President. But now that Biden is President it is. And since Biden has not dismissed the NG troops, the requirements of 11.2.2.1 have been satisfied.

Thanks for the clarification.
