(12,514 posts)He's telling us to stop calling them the National Guard because they were federalized.
That means they are restricted and cannot do law enforcement activities. They are under restrictions to protect federal property or ICE personnel. They can't detain or arrest anyone.
They are akin to U.S. Army soldiers now.
People (maybe the media) are thinking they can do policing but they can't unless the insurrection act is invoked or Gov. Newsom consents to their activation.
Me: If they do get involved with policing then they should be reported.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
