    Im not sure but I believe after 911, national guard units were deployed to Iraq (which had nothing to do with 911) by order of the president. I believe that if the president declares an emergency then they can use the national guards however they want.

    It would make sense if Congress were required in this decision making process but that would be out of character for a fascist criminal ring
