President Trump Declares Insurrection Act on the Table to Quell Minnesota Anarchy

President Donald J. Trump yesterday warned that he stands ready to invoke the Insurrection Act if Minnesota’s soft-on-crime politicians continue to let violent radicals attack federal officers with impunity.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt will hold a briefing today to lay out the administration’s next steps—just hours after the President met with Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado to forge a coalition for freedom in the Americas.

Trump’s sit-down with Machado was no photo-op. It sent a clear message: America will lead the hemisphere against socialist tyranny and protect democratic allies.

The immediate flashpoint is Minnesota, where an ICE agent came under brutal assault while making a lawful arrest. The agent returned fire, defending himself against a violent suspect.

Republican governors and sheriffs across the country have already pledged support for federal officers. Minnesota’s leadership must either uphold the rule of law or cede control to Washington.

Leavitt is expected to announce targeted federal deployments and new directives that will enhance officer safety, close legal loopholes and hold local authorities accountable.

Under this administration, lawlessness has consequences. Federal officers will have the full backing of the Commander in Chief—and any state that refuses to protect them will face decisive action.
