Insurrection Act threat escalates Minnesota ICE crackdown amid protests

President Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy federal troops to Minnesota as ICE operations and protests intensify, with independent investigations into an ICE shooting underway and legal challenges ongoing. The push has drawn broad federal involvement (thousands of arrests, hundreds of agents), elicited calls for calm from city leaders, and spawned political fallout including DOJ resignations and debates over Somali TPS termination, reflecting a tense national moment around immigration enforcement in Minnesota.
