President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act which is rarely used federal law that could give him the power to send US military forces into Minnesota.
Trump shared how the matter was a serious one, and it was about time that the officials in the state brought the killings and unrest under control before it was too late.

Trump's message was shared through social media, where he warned that if Minnesota's political leaders didn't stop professional agitators from attacking ICE agents, then he needed to make a strong decision to invoke the Insurrection Act to put an end to the violence himself.

Governor Tim Walz and the state's Mayor Jacob Frey have already urged calm and peaceful demonstrations, while legal action was initiated against the federal surge.
