Trump's Threat: Insurrection Act Looms Over Minnesota Protests

U.S. President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota officials fail to control demonstrations targeting immigration officials. He criticized local leaders for not obeying the law and urged them to stop professional agitators attacking ICE, expressing his intent in a Truth Social post.

U.S. President Donald Trump has issued a stern warning to Minnesota's leadership, threatening to deploy the Insurrection Act should they fail to control protests directed at immigration officials.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump condemned what he called 'corrupt politicians' for not following legal obligations and halting actions by professional agitators and insurrectionists.

He emphasized that these demonstrators were unjustly targeting ICE employees, who he referred to as 'Patriots' merely performing their duties, underscoring the potential for federal intervention.
