YES, Trump can invoke the Insurrection Act.

Former DHS official Ken Cuccinelli came in with a tough dose of reality when Brianna Keilar asked, “Do you think that President Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act because of the unrest in California?”

“Yes is the short answer,” he said. “Just as it was done in LA back in 1992 (Rodney King riots).”

“President has made it clear that, unlike his first term, he’s willing to use it. And I think we all take him seriously on that.”

Keilar interrupted and pressed him on the legality, asking:

“Are you saying that it’s really just a matter of if they don’t have enough Guard, then they can go ahead and deploy active duty military like these Marines have been readied, and that’s okay because of the Insurrection Act?”

Cuccinelli didn’t blink, “That’s exactly what the Insurrection Act says.”
