So this act is not relevant to today's news
> However, when Guard personnel are called into federal service, or “federalized,” they become part of the federal armed forces, which means they are bound by the Posse Comitatus Act until they are returned to state control.
If Newsom had deployed them instead of Trump, then your statement would be accurate.
I would imagine this is being done as a signal to the state of California not to incite insurrection or the Insurrection Act could be invoked.
I’m not making a judgment about the morality or correctness of the current federalization of the national guard, but we need to make sure we are not spreading misinformation at such a time and sticking to facts.
Edit:
I did just find this, so it seems they are being integrated somehow. So then yes, not clear how this would be legal:

California isn’t “inciting” anything - this is a few people in a couple of parts of the city and so far it seems like a protest with some violence on the order of a bad Raiders game, nothing remotely like the 1992 riots much less an actual insurrection.
Still relevant to today's news
