Trump proposes military involvement in Minnesota anti-ICE protests

US President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy military forces in Minnesota amid rising tensions over federal agents’ presence in the state. In a Truth Social post, Trump criticized Minnesota politicians for not stopping “professional agitators” attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. This follows an incident where a federal officer was assaulted while detaining an undocumented Venezuelan. The Insurrection Act allows the president to use military force domestically, a power last used by George HW Bush in 1992.
