Another violent attack on federal agents pushes the Insurrection Act from threat to necessity.
President Trump: If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of ICE, 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.

These aren’t protesters.
The First Amendment doesn’t apply here.
These are left-wing terrorists stealing weapons.

President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy federal military forces in Minnesota, USA amid escalating unrest tied to aggressive ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) operations in Minneapolis. The warning comes after multiple high-profile clashes between federal agents and protesters, including a fatal shooting of a woman by an ICE officer and a separate incident where an ICE agent shot a man in the leg during a traffic stop. Tensions have sparked widespread protests and confrontations, with local officials like Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz criticizing the federal response and calling for an end to the enforcement surge. Trump blamed state leadership for failing to control “agitators” attacking ICE and suggested that military intervention may be necessary under the rare federal authority of the Insurrection Act to restore order. The situation has triggered lawsuits from Minnesota and its largest cities against the federal government, alleging constitutional violations over the federal crackdown and ICE tactics
Just absolutely floored to wake up to videos of anti-ICE rioters breaking into federal vehicles and sifting through arrest warrants and sensitive DHS/ICE documents.

Trump threatens to invoke Insurrection Act in Minnesota if agitators keep attacking federal officers

President Donald Trump warned Thursday that he would invoke the Insurrection Act if people in Minnesota don’t obey the law and continue attacking federal agents there.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president’s warning comes after a second ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis in recent days.
An ICE agent shot an alleged illegal immigrant in the leg on Wednesday during an arrest attempt. The Department of Homeland Security claims the agent fired at the suspect because he was “fearing for his life and safety” after the individual resisted arrest and “violently assaulted the officer.”
The Insurrection Act, an 1807 law, has not been invoked since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.
The order allows the president to deploy the military to suppress rebellions and enforce federal laws. If invoked, it would grant Trump the authority to federalize the National Guard and deploy active duty forces to restore order. It would temporarily override the Posse Comitatus Act, which normally restricts the use of the military for domestic law enforcement.
Clashes in Minnesota

The suspect in Wednesday’s shooting was reported to be in stable condition and is now in custody, while the ICE agent is allegedly in the hospital.
This comes after an incident last week in Minneapolis, where Renee Nicole Good, a U.S. citizen, was fatally shot by an ICE agent after authorities alleged she tried to ram her vehicle into federal agents during an immigration enforcement operation.
