DC law enforcement.

Additional information
-- Jeffrey A. Rosen was Trump's acting AG after Barr at the time of this memo;
-- Executive Order 11485 that is referred to, defines the District of Columbia National Guard; it's found in the
Federal Register. National Archives. ( It was retrieved to justify Miller's stand down order 4 January 2021) Under this likely original memo, the command hierarchy is laid out, which proves that it all started with Trump two days before the seditious insurrection and attempted assassinations of the Vice President and House Speaker.

The president of the United States is the commander-in-chief for the District of Columbia National Guard.
Command is exercised through the Secretary of Defense and the commanding general, Joint Force Headquarters (JFHQ), District of Columbia National Guard.
The Secretary of Defense has delegated his command authority to the Secretary of the Army for the District of Columbia Army National Guard and the Secretary of the Air Force for the District of Columbia Air National Guard.[2]
The District of Columbia National Guard is commanded by a major general with a brigadier general as his or her adjutant general.
The mayor of the District of Columbia, the United States marshal for the District of Columbia, or the National Capital Service director may request the commander-in-chief to aid them in suppressing insurrection and enforcement of the law; however, there is no chain of authority from the District of Columbia to the D.C. National Guard.
