Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota
"US President Donald Trump Thursday threatened to deploy US military forces to respond to protests in Minnesota, writing that he would "institute the Insurrection Act" if the situation deteriorated in a social media post. "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," Trump wrote on Truth Social."
"Tensions escalated in Minneapolis on Wednesday night when a federal officer shot and injured a man in the leg after he attacked officers with a shovel and a broom during a targeted traffic stop. The incident came a week after an American woman, Renee Nicole Good, was killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in the same city, sparking protests across major US cities."
