Trump Warns He'll Use INSURRECTION ACT' If Minnesota Officials Fail to End ICE Protests
"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. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT (Screengrab via Truth Social)"
"Trump's threat comes after an ICE agent reportedly shot an alleged undocumented immigrant in the leg during an arrest attempt after the individual reportedly resisted and violently assaulted the officer, per DHS. The suspect is reported to be in stable condition and in custody, while the agent was also hospitalized. Federal officers deployed tear gas, pepper balls and flash bangs late Wednesday as demonstrators protested the ongoing deportation operation, which followed a second ICE-involved shooting in the city in the space of a week."
President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials do not stop protests targeting ICE agents. Governor Tim Walz demanded the administration withdraw its ICE agents, accusing federal operations of causing chaos, disruption, and trauma in local communities. Roughly 800 Customs and Border Protection agents have been deployed to the Minneapolis area, and those operations have been met with demonstrations. An ICE agent reportedly shot an alleged undocumented immigrant in the leg during an arrest attempt; the suspect is in custody and stable, and the agent was hospitalized. Federal officers used tear gas, pepper balls, and flash bangs amid protests following multiple recent shootings, including a fatal incident that killed Renee Nicole Good.
