Trump Threatens Military Deployment to Minnesota Amid Anti-ICE Protests and Shootings

President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military in Minnesota following escalating protests over federal immigration enforcement in Minneapolis. Tensions surged after ICE agents fatally shot U.S. citizen Renee Good, sparking demonstrations that spread to other cities. Additional incidents, including the shooting of a Venezuelan man, have intensified unrest. Thousands of armed federal officers patrol the streets amid accusations of excessive force. Trump blames Minnesota officials for failing to stop “agitators,” while state authorities accuse his administration of fueling violence, deepening the standoff.
