in real life if POTUS wanted to send troops for law enforcement for DC he'd just send the DC National Guard; the DoD has long advanced a legal theory that this is permissible, even for stuff like narcotics interdiction

They're acting rogue anyway, they might have rolled up and said they were supposed to be there and nobody questioned it. Who's going to call the Pentagon to confirm?
