Did POTUS fulfill the obligation of the Insurrection Act of 1807 by telling people to go home.

Before invoking the powers under the Act, 10 U.S.C. § 254 requires the President to first publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse. As part of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, these provisions are now codified as amended.

If so then might that explain why there are 6,200 National Guard troops on the streets of DC?
