Donald Trump threatened that he would invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military in Minnesota if the authorities do not stop the protests against immigration agents.

President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military in Minnesota, in the context of protests against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency following an incident in which an agent killed a woman. Trump accused politicians in Minnesota of corruption and referred to the local Somali community as "garbage."

In the wake of the protests, nearly 3,000 federal officers were sent to Minneapolis, equipped to maintain order. The Insurrection Act, which allows the use of the military for law enforcement, was last invoked in 1992. Trump's decisions in Minnesota have generated divisions among his supporters, with a poll showing that 59% of Republicans support arrests prioritized by immigration officers, even with risks to civilians.
