Trump Threatens Minnesota With the Insurrection Act
On Wednesday night, an ICE agent shot an illegal alien in the leg as the illegal alien and two others started beating him “with a shovel or broomstick.”
President Donald Trump threatened to use the Insurrection Act in Minnesota after another ICE-related shooting in Minneapolis.
Trump wrote on Truth Social:
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. Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT

A president can invoke the Insurrection Act when:
The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it–
(1) so hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State, that any part or class of its people is deprived of a right, privilege, immunity, or protection named in the Constitution and secured by law, and the constituted authorities of that State are unable, fail, or refuse to protect that right, privilege, or immunity, or to give that protection; or
(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.
In any situation covered by clause (1), the State shall be considered to have denied the equal protection of the laws secured by the Constitution.
UPDATE – ICE agents were ambushed in Minneapolis by two assailants wielding shovels from nearby apartments, while agents wrestled a Venezuelan illegal to the ground after a car pursuit ended in a crash. pic.twitter.com/UCHEbZnJ7m

Go for it. It’s long overdue. Let the leftists scream.
.
But, But… OPTICS!!!
/must I?
The current optics of leftists doing whatever they want with little repercussion are worse.
Just do it
In your, and my, view, yes. But to those who are judging things by what they see in the mainstream press, or are left-leaning independents, the optics have the potential to look bad.
Garbage like Joy Reid and Caryn Johnson hold high influence over their audience and they will ride this horse as hard as they can.
Do you mean that they would support the people engaged in insurrection to overthrow the Federal gov’t? (Nullification is definitely seeking to overthrow the ability of the Federal Gov’t to enforce the rule of law which is a subversion of our representative Govt and the will of the people of the USA as expressed through the laws passed by Congress and signed into law by the Executive) Seems like a hop away from providing material support to the insurrection which seems like a bad idea; ‘provide aid, comfort’.
Anyone who watches Reid is already a nutcase. No concerned about them at all.
It’s enough to make your fur stand on end. But the optics are not at all furry.
Nope, optics in this case are good. Optics are bad when even your supporters may oppose something out of principle. I don’t see that as the case at all here. And nobody cares what the rabid opposition thinks, Mikey hates everything.
He should have done it yesterday, and when he does do it, they will stop screaming
because they will have no recourse.
Typical Republican,..all talk and no action,..where are the arrests, subpoenas for the Somali fraud?
The AP feed of the riots was pretty bad.
This guy bought the AP feed to put on his podcast

Give those sh*tlibs a taste of their own…medicine.
Democrats won’t stop their street antics until more people are killed. It seems Democrat authorities in Mn won’t be satisfied until they find their own ‘Fort Sumter’. For them it is back to the past.
Those killed are seen as mere fodder for helping The Cause.
Just one week with the suspension of all civil liberties and this country’s demographics could return to that of the 1950s. I hope somebody has it planned. Hard, fast and ruthless
I’d be happy with a repeal of Hart-Celler. That law has made the US the world’s garbage pail.
“This town needs an enema!”
Meh. ‘Quickly’ should be relative to the many decades the leftist wokiestas has fomented, trained, funded, planned and since Ferguson MO is executing mob anarchy to prevent the enforcement of basic civil order. IOW if it takes a few years of a reconstruction style Federal occupation to ‘quell the insurrection’ backed and promoted by the State/Local leadership in MN ….no whining, especially about ‘norms’ from the leftist wokiestas who seek to overturn those ‘norms’.
It should be illegal to pay someone to protest; get rid of this “rent a mobs”.
No. It is and should remain totally fine for someone to pay folks to ‘peaceably assemble’
That said providing material support/financing for individuals and groups engaged in unlawful conduct can and should be prosecuted.
Pay for NPCs to peaceably assemble and lawfully protest? 100% ok. Pay for NPCs to buy PPE, piles of bricks, other items to be used as weapons, ‘armor’, transportation, lodging, rations and a salary/per diem to engage in unlawful non peaceable activities? Nope not ok at all.
The courts have traditionally put more restrictions on commercial speech versus political speech. Once you’re paying people to act a part of a supporter, it’s commercial speech.
At the least, require paid protestors to clearly label themselves as such.
Yet that doesn’t ban paid protesters which would be unconstitutional. I don’t think you can single out paid protesters as ‘commercial’ speech, especially if it is supporting wholly lawful conduct within the ‘peaceable assembly’. A private individual can pay to disseminate their ideas and policy preferences and so can a Corporation. Doesn’t matter if that’s a 30 second AD in the Super Bowl or a bunch of NPCs holding signs.
No, it isn’t. That is not what “commercial speech” means.
Consider paid political ads; they get the highest level of protection. Also paid newspapers and books. Paid speakers. Artists. Actors. Lobbyists. None of that is commercial speech.
“Commercial speech” doesn’t mean paid speech. It means speech that is also commerce. When you talk up a product, whether in person or in print or on TV, you are engaging in speech, but also in commerce. You’re selling something. The speech aspect can’t be regulated, but the commerce aspect can.
if the problems arent stopped now they will never be as the chance of the
lefts takeover is still almost a given as the msm is unrelenting in their anti americanism and the vote counters ,unless heavily watched as lara trump proved,, will vote any ballots they can as dem
even many moderate dems want crime under control and the know the only hope is maga,,,,,so they ‘ll vote dem when they can ( fools!) but not dem when a guy like djt is in charge
There aren’t any “moderate “ democrats, as there is no “moderate” Muslims
yes yes there is
I saw him being beaten by an angry somalian crowd
I remember “Minnesota nice” as a real saying growing up g up in (0’s and 60’sn Wisconsin, sister state
Unbelievable what the democrats, and RINOs, have done to this state, this country…
There’s a case to made that the fault for all this ‘suicidal empathy’ lies with 3rd wave feminism. Lie to people long enough that our systems and institutions are manifestations of the ‘patriarchy’ designed to oppress, that women should fear men, that women should prioritize their career over family formation, normalize ‘no fault divorce’ so that women are routinely posting vids about how they ‘left their good, solid husband who didn’t do anything wrong and that it is totes ok b/c these women wanted to prioritize their happiness’ ….
…that’s at least partly responsible for how we got here as a society. A place where any masculinity not performed in direct service of women is viewed as ‘toxic’ and a bunch of soy boy, simping but single, low T males are shoulder to shoulder with ‘childless cat ladies’ and AWFLs who broke up their own home via divorce all find their lives to be without much meaningful fulfilment b/c they don’t have a strong nuclear family bond of Husband, Wife and children and the inherent joy/pain, good/bad, up/down phases and hard work to maintain the commitments, made on their wedding day and meet the duties and responsibilities they vowed to uphold.
In short if these folks had strong family bonds they’d ‘have a life’ and their responsibilities to their family would be the priority ….not Federal LEO enforcement of long standing immigration laws. I suspect many/most of the ‘protesters’ are jumping on the bandwagon b/c they see it as a chance to belong to something beyond/bigger than themselves…..which is what the nuclear family used to provide.
when these paid protesters file their income taxes 🙂
who is their listed employer?
and if they aent filing correctly or at all..bye bye
I’m sure all their local “foundations” are dutifully asking their street army to fill out W-9’s.
Way overdue. This should have been invoked a long time ago.
Stop threatening it and do it already President Trump!
EKO says Trump has been quietly laying the groundwork for exactly this action since (literally) his inauguration day, He’s spent the past year dotting the I’s, crossing the T’s, and mainly sitting out the legally required waiting periods.
Now pull the trigger, Mister President.
Thank you for the research. I read it. Sounds like a go!
My only quibble is that he says the states are in insurrection, and that’s not the case. The states themselves are not in insurrection, but there are people within them who are, with the states’ moral support. That’s an important distinction, but it doesn’t change the fact that there is indeed an insurrection. As there was in the summer of 2020.
