The Governor requested federal help. Legally different.

[ImJamal]

The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the President to do it without the request of a governor so I don't think there is a legal difference.

It is different when state governors impede the enforcement of federal laws and the President needs to send in the military. Eisenhower had to do that in Arkansas. It’s shameful but it happens.

The law is not on their side in 2025. That's the difference.
