Trump Threatens To Invoke Insurrection Act As Left-Wing Chaos In Minneapolis Spreads

Politics.

From Zerohedge. Update (1024ET):

In response to overnight left-wing chaos, what can only be described as the Democratic Party's "George Floyd 2.0" attempt, President Trump wrote on Truth Social about the very real possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act.

"If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State," Trump warned.

 
 

The warning from Trump comes after left-wing nonprofits and far-left militant groups mobilized in the metro area in the last week after a "legal observer" was shot and killed. These left-wing groups have been positioned to mount a pressure campaign against federal agents, seeking to disrupt deportation operations targeting criminal illegal aliens (or the Democrat Party's future voting bloc). 

The Insurrection Act would allow Trump to deploy active-duty military forces or federalize the National Guard within the Democratic-run state to restore order as Democrats allow left-wing groups to go rogue. The act has not been invoked since the 1992 Los Angeles riots.

This is a legal nuclear option to restore order after left-wing rioters last night looted federal vehicles, stole weapons and ammunition, and after an incident in which an ICE agent shot an illegal during a violent confrontation with the agent.

Potential invocation of the Insurrection Act represents a significant shift in the federal civil-military posture of the Trump administration, as left-wing orgs mount a fight. Perhaps it's time for the Trump administration to leave flank these orgs and begin an assault across the funding networks within the nonprofit world.

The killing of the left-wing activist (legal observer) by an ICE agent in Minneapolis has become the catalyst that Democratic Party-aligned dark-money-funded NGOs and militant far-left groups have been waiting for to spark street chaos, hoping to shift public sentiment toward defunding ICE. This is an informational war that Democrats are seeking to win, and in doing so, they need riots - think of it as "George Floyd 2.0"...  

Overnight, social unrest emerged in the seemingly lawless sanctuary city of Minneapolis when street protests by left-wing groups quickly accelerated into riots and looting of at least one federal vehicle that had a long rifle and ammunition inside.

Instead of demanding that criminal illegal aliens leave, Democrats who run the metro area have posted on the city's official X account, demanding that ICE agents leave the town.

In a separate incident, Homeland Security said an ICE agent shot an illegal in the leg after the "subject began to resist and violently assault the officer." Then the agency said the officer was "ambushed and attacked by two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick..."

 

The origin of the chaos is mostly manufactured and began hours after the legal observer was shot and killed last Wednesday:

Democrats are using the manufactured chaos, think of it as George Floyd 2.0, in an attempt to sway public opinion polls about Trump's deportation policies. As Trump strips power from Democrats and the party's unhinged left watches its illegal alien voter bloc get deported, those with their backs against the wall increasingly see violence as the only remaining option. Just wait until spring.
