That actually took place in Little Rock, in 1957. I lived there then although a student at the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville.

To make sure the Federalized Ark, N.G. obeyed orders, Pres. Eisenhower sent in a battalion of the 101st Airborne, the "Screaming Eagles." Things then went according to Hoyle.

I would suspect if Pres Trump had to Federalize the National Guards of the "blue States, he would probably do the same. Just a guess.
