Trump Threatens to Invoke Insurrection Act in Minnesota

Governor Tim Walz threatened to command the state National Guard to attack federal agents. “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough. I’ve issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard,” Walz said in a press event. “We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary. I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks,” Walz said. “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.” Now, Washington is considering invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy US troops to Minnesota.

“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, ” Trump said on his Truth Social platform.

We live in a world where states are openly defying the federal government, toying with the idea of separatism, as politics have become too divided for the states to remain united. The 1807 Insurrection Act permits US presidents to unilaterally deploy federal military personnel within the US to restore law and order.
