Trump's claim isn't quite that tenuous. Check section (2):
That's the basis for this. They're characterising Angelinos resisting ICE as "a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States", since ICE is an extension of that same authority. It's a weak claim, but not as completely buckwild as claiming a foreign invasion.
That's a fair point. I was under the assumption that they were still using the "invasion" thing since that was what they leaned into for the deportations. I can definitely see them going with "rebellion" instead.
Seems like there is some (temporary) good news on the topic at least:

When taking to the press they purposefully used words like "invasion" and "rebellion" to help with justification of invoking this obscure law but it is clear it is not.
