"Don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act. Fifty percent of the presidents almost have used that. And that's unquestioned power, Trump said. I choose not to, I'd rather do this. But I'm met constantly by fake politicians politicians who think, it's not like part of the radical-left movement to have safety. These cities have to be safe. He continued: Our cities that are Democrat-run exclusively, just about are unsafe cities. They're a disaster."
"The president's 50% claim is not correct it has been used by 15 presidents (out of 45) and has been invoked 30 times. The act is usually invoked in response to civil unrest, rebellions, and other crises. It was most recently used by President George H.W. Bush in 1992, when he federalized the California National Guard and sent federal troops to Los Angeles to stop rioting, following the acquittal of police officers in the Rodney King case."
President Donald Trump warned Democratic leaders that he may invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy federal forces if opposition continues to his use of the National Guard and ICE/Border Patrol to address crime and illegal immigration. He said he prefers not to use the act but criticized opposition from Democratic officials and called Democrat-run cities unsafe. The Insurrection Act has been used by 15 presidents and invoked 30 times, typically for civil unrest and rebellions. The last major invocation federalized National Guard troops for Los Angeles in 1992 after the Rodney King verdict. Deployments to cities like Chicago prompted legal challenges from Gov. JB Pritzker and Mayor Brandon Johnson.
