"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."
"Now, the state National Guard is very, very, very different than federalizing U.S. Troops and putting them into American streets, Griffin said, continuing: I see the Insurrection Act as the most extreme step that a president could take to deal with quelling domestic protests. The last time I believe it was used was during the Rodney King protests in 1992."
"President Trump I've said this before he talked about doing it in the summer of 2020 was ultimately talked out of it by General [Mark] Milley, Mark Esper and others, and it was a good thing because what happens is this: So, say governor Walz has the Minnesota National Guard who are there to make sure protesters aren't getting injured and ICE officers aren't getting injured."
Protests in Minneapolis have intensified since the ICE-involved shooting death of 37-year-old Renee Good, and a second shooting occurred after reports that an officer feared for his life following an attack by protesters. President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to federalize troops and end the unrest. Governor Tim Walz has the Minnesota National Guard on standby for potential deployment. State National Guard forces differ substantially from federalized U.S. troops deployed on American streets. Invoking the Insurrection Act represents the most extreme presidential measure to quell domestic protests. Military leaders reportedly dissuaded a prior attempt to use the law in 2020.
