Trump threatens to invoke the Insurrection Act in response to Minneapolis protests

Deploying the military for domestic law enforcement purposes usually requires congressional authorization, but invoking the 19th century law would permit Trump to do so unilaterally.

Bush was the last to invoke it, during the Los Angeles riots in 1992.

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.

Thank you for you attention to this matter! President DJT
