The Insurrection Act signed by Donald J. Trump on January 14, 2020
Before the Inuageration.
How important is it?

The act was last invoked in 1992 to quell the
Los Angeles riots after the acquittal of four white police officers in the beating of Rodney King, a black man, and before that in 1989 during widespread looting in St. Croix, Virgin Islands, after Hurricane Hugo.

Trump Says He'll Deploy Military To States If They Don't Stop Violent Protests
Before invoking it, the president "must first issue a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse within a limited time, 10 U.S.C. § 334.4. If the situation does not resolve itself, the President may issue an executive order to send in troops," according to a
2006 report by the Congressional Research Service.
That is the same year the act was amended to
expand the instances in which the president may invoke the law, after the federal government's response to Hurricane Katrina a year earlier was criticized.
It
authorizes "the President to employ the armed forces during a natural disaster or terrorist attack."
As to whether a state must request the presence of those military forces in the state, that's "
not necessarily" the case,
according to experts.
A section of the law (§251) says (emphasis ours):
"[T]he President may,
upon the request of its legislature or of its governor if the legislature cannot be convened, call into Federal service such of the militia."
But the next section (§252) says:
"Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion."
"I hope they listened to the part where he told them to go home"
