""If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State,""
"The president's threat comes a day after a federal immigration officer shot and wounded a Minneapolis man who had attacked the officer with a shovel and broom handle. That shooting further heightened the fear and anger radiating across the Minnesota city since an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent fatally shot a Renee Good in the head. Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the rarely used federal law to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard for domestic law enforcement, over the objections of state governors."
President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy U.S. troops or federalize the National Guard against persistent protests targeting federal immigration officers in Minneapolis. The warning followed a federal immigration officer wounding a man who attacked the officer and came amid public outrage after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good in the head. The Department of Homeland Security reports more than 2,000 arrests in Minnesota since early December and says it will not back down. Demonstrations escalated with smoke, tear gas, rocks, and fireworks as officers in gas masks cleared an unlawful assembly.
