    I would like to see California boldly and forcefully repel this invasion, but I don’t know how it would work.

    The California National Guard is part of the National Guard of the United States, a dual federal-state military reserve force.

    When National Guard troops are called to federal service, the president serves as Commander-In-Chief. The federal mission assigned to the National Guard is: “To provide properly trained and equipped units for prompt mobilization for war, national emergency or as otherwise needed.”

    The governor of California may call individuals or units of the California National Guard into state service during emergencies or special situations. The state mission of the National Guard is: “To provide trained and disciplined forces for domestic emergencies or as otherwise provided by state law.”

    Role: Organized militia
    Size: 24,000

    EDIT:

    When I look at this as Trump and his gang deliberately inciting conflict with state/local governments in order to have an excuse to seize control from them before the next election, the situation becomes even trickier.
