that the execution of civil or criminal process has been forcibly resisted in
any county, by bodies of persons, or that combinations to resist the execution

process to execute it, the Governor may, on the application of the officer, or
of the district attorney or district judge of the county, by proclamation, to
be published in such papers as the Governor shall direct, declare the county to
be in a state of insurrection, and may order into the service of the State such
number and description of volunteers, or uniformed companies or other militia
of the State as the Governor shall deem necessary, to serve for such term and
under the command of such officers as the Governor shall direct.
2. The Governor may, when he or she shall
think proper, revoke the proclamation authorized by subsection 1, or declare
that it shall cease at such time and in such manner as he or she shall direct.
