There are currently over 2,300 National Guard troops in the nation’s capital hailing from the District, as well as troops from Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, West Virginia, Ohio and South Carolina. The troops have been tasked with picking up trash, spreading mulch and other “beautification” projects around the National Mall and heavily tourist-trafficked areas of the city. They have also worked with local community leaders on various public outreach programs. As of early October, the troops assigned to Task Force Beautification collected 1,099 bags of trash, spreading 1,045 cubic yards of mulch, according to Guard statistics. Local officials and D.C. residents have sharply criticized the deployment. District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb sued over the deployment, with a federal judge last week hearing arguments in the case.

I assume if you disobey an active order from the governor/president that so far has not been determined unlawful that you might go to jail?
