They can’t interfere legally. Governors call up the state National Guard. Since DC doesn’t have a Governor the authority lies with the President. But, the mayor has to request it. That was one reason it was delayed, the mayor was dragging her feet in asking for help. Once she did Trump authorized it but the pentagon didn’t follow orders. The responsible people should be court marshaled.
I think sending them to the Capitol represented transferring them from a local role to a Federal role. The DOD had to authorize them acting in a Federal capacity.
How about some nice 'Military Tribunals'. The ratings will be...well, more than you can imagine.
...march madness - basketball / tribunals
How does the Pentagon interfere with the deployment of the National Guard?
Maybe it is unique to DC. But the States can call up the Guard without the Pentagon DoD getting involved.
