President Donald Trump on Thursday (January 15, 2026) threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, allowing him to deploy troops as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement persist in Minneapolis.
Mr. Trump made the threat after a federal officer shot a man in the leg in Minneapolis on Wednesday (January 16, 2026) after being attacked with a shovel and broom handle. The incident further heightened the sense of fear and anger radiating across the city a week after an immigration agent fatally shot a woman in the head.
Mr. Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the rarely used federal law to deploy the U.S. military or federalise the National Guard for domestic law enforcement, over the objections of state governors.
