Trump declared Thursday morning in a Truth Social post that he would invoke the Insurrection Act if the “corrupt politicians” of Minnesota do nothing to stop the violence being perpetrated against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents. The announcement follows days of unrest across Minneapolis, which has included rioters looting federal vehicles and repeatedly obstructing enforcement operations.
