Trump warns Tim…
On Thursday, Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to stop riotersin Minneapolis from attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
Under the Insurrection Act, the president can deploy the military and federalize the National Guard in response to civil disorder — or an armed rebellion against the U.S. government.
“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,” Trump warned on TRUTH Social.
The warning comes after a fresh flashpoint in Minneapolis.
On Wednesday evening, an ICE agent shot a suspected illegal immigrant during a scuffle in Minneapolis, after the suspect allegedly assaulted the officer, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
The individual is now in federal custody.
And DHS claimed the injured suspect had “violently assaulted the officer.”
Minnesota has become ground zero in a growing showdown between federal enforcement and street-level chaos — and Trump is signaling he’s ready to bring the full weight of Washington down hard.
