The
Insurrection Act of 1807 is a
United States federal law (
10 U.S.C. §§ 251–
255; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331–335; amended 2006, 2007) that empowers the
President of the United States to deploy
U.S. military and federalized
National Guard troops within the
United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress
civil disorder,
insurrection and
rebellion.
The act provides the "major exception" to the
Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limits the use of military personnel under federal command for law enforcement purposes within the United States.

Before invoking the powers under the Act, 10 U.S.C. § 254 requires the President to firstly publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse.
yeah i'd say Trump has made his required proclamation ..
and of course the leftists are screaming how Trump is some dictator. and in this case he is .. a Constitutional Dictator who can act to quell unrest with federal forces.
says so here ..
