Even if Posse Comitatus was strictly enforced, it would be perfectly legal if they are on Title 32 status or State duty.
National Guard = State Militia. The national Guard is Federally Recognized and members must meet Federal requirements. The State Guards are not Federally recognized.
I went to Katrina. Us National Guard types were armed. The Regulars that showed up later were not. In fact, they were escorted by armed National Guard troops.
The NG has been doing that for years around here. You always knew when you saw a Huey circling around the area once a month or so it was the “drug copter”.
