Yesterday, the Washington Post plopped a story at the top of its website headline, “Trump threatens Insurrection Act deployment to quell Minnesota ICE protests.” As the mostly peaceful ICE protests in Minneapolis became even more mostly peaceful yesterday, President Trump created headline news by posting on Truth Social that, if Minnesota can’t control its “insurrectionists,” he would “institute the INSURRECTION ACT … and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State.”

It might be more than bluster this time. Last night, ICE Director Tom Homan told Laura Ingraham he planned to meet with President Trump today, and said that one of the items on the agenda paper was whether it was time to invoke the Insurrection Act. In short, invoking the Insurrection Act would give the military authority to assist with domestic law enforcement functions, including making arrests, tear-gassing AWFLs, and parking armored vehicles outside the gubernatorial mansion.

Corporate media was emboldened by a recent Supreme Court ruling that curtailed presidential police powers. The mixed majority held that the National Guard cannot be deployed without a state’s consent until things get really bad, such as when protesters escalate by directly attacking police, organizing themselves into gangs, or boycotting all soy products.

But the decision also raised the possibility that a president could simply skip the National Guard stage and go straight to sending U.S. military forces into protest zones.

The ruling was issued about three weeks ago and revolved around Trump’s authority under a National Guard-related statute, not under the Insurrection Act. It was also limited to the use of forces to protect federal property and personnel (rather than control riots). ...

"I am pleased to confirm the ATF and DOJ executed an ARREST WARRANT for the man I caught on video stealing an FBI rifle out of a car during the Minneapolis riots last night

Raul Gutierrez, 33, a member of the LATIN KINGS gang, has a lengthy rap sheet.

Great work to the ATF, DOJ, and FBI for capturing this guy so quickly!"

... Believe it or not, more presidents than you might guess have at one time or another invoked the Insurrection Act, and for various reasons. In 1992, George H.W. Bush dramatically used the Act to suppress the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. In 1957, President Dwight Eisenhower (R) federalized the Arkansas National Guard and sent the 101st Airborne Division into Little Rock to assist integration by walking black children into Democrat-controlled schools.

Invoking the Act without a state’s permission requires a scenario where state officials are “unable or unwilling” to control a serious breakdown of public order, or where an “unlawful combination or conspiracy” is involved. I’ll let you decide whether scandal-plagued Governor Tim “the Coach” Walz is able and willing to restore order to the Twin Cities.

It appears Trump may be angling to satisfy both prongs of the test. Yesterday, FBI Director Kash Patel told Just The News that he believes the protests are not “spontaneous,” but rather organized and paid for, and the DOJ is currently investigating organizations paying for and helping coordinate the riots. If the FBI finds solid evidence of national coordination —a conspiracy that “impedes” federal law— it would support the legal invocation of the Insurrection Act. Paging George Soros.

It’s impossible to predict what happens next. But it’s clear that, if anything, the Trump Administration is not backing down, but rather is surging even more immigration resources into Minnesota. The protesters are escalating along with the surge. Assuming this continues, at some point, the minimum legal and political threshold for the Insurrection Act —whatever that is— will be achieved.

Don’t be too surprised if sometime later this day, Friday, the president invokes the Insurrection Act to tranquilize the city of Minneapolis, since aerial spraying of Olanzapine is probably out of the question. Where, oh where, are the mythologized “nice,” and “above-average” people of Minnesota, once praised in song and sketch on those long-ago Saturday nights of The Prairie Home Companion?

They have been replaced by a mutant army of psychotic Transtifa wendigos on the payroll of Arabella Advisors (now operating as Sunflower Services), or the Tides Foundation, or some other Soros-connected money-laundry. And many have come from other states, possibly even other nations (or planets), to join the Cluster-B viragos native to the city in the crusade to defend “Joe Biden’s” legion of illegally imported Democratic Party voters.

This acute agitation in the streets against federal officers is obviously and brazenly abetted by those in charge: Governor Tim Walz, Mayor Jacob Frey, and Attorney General Keith Ellison. Walz is a huckleberry for the ages. Did you catch his smarmy sob-story act the day before yesterday, weeping for his “communities” and “neighbors-of-color,” “who continue to stand up for freedom with empathy, blah blah.” Who does this fraudster think he is kidding with his act? ...

So, it will be up to Mr. Trump to put an end to this effrontery. And let’s hope that includes federal marshals coming to arrest and remove Messrs. Walz, Frey, and Ellison, pending some due process to determine their deliberate malfeasance in this massive obstruction of justice. Then imagine the squealing of Hakim Jeffries and Empathy Champeen of the World Chuck Schumer: “Our Democracy! Our Democracy!” Not to put too fine a point on it, but fuck you, Hakim and Chuck, and the donkeys you rode in on. The non-psychotic citizens of this land have had enough fakery and enough of your party’s treasonous, violent revolt in the defense of fakery.

Unclamping a vampire from your neck isn't easy. Vote them in (or fraud vote themselves in), then you have to shoot your way out.

Minnesota ICE Murder thread

Fixed.

I always hear DHS employees claiming self-defense in incidents like this, but I never hear anything about hospitalization, injuries, or any proof at all they were ever actually threatened.

ICE officer who fatally shot Minnesota woman was dragged by car during June immigration arrest

In a June incident, the agent was dragged by a vehicle at least 50 yards and required stitches, according to DHS and court documents. ...

The officer suffered multiple lacerations and needed 33 stitches to close his wounds, according to court documents from the June incident, which identified the agent as Jonathan Ross.

I can see how the officer would be much less inclined to let that happen again.

Oh, great. Just what we need. Another entirely toothless Congressional "Criminal Investigation" wending its way through the organs of official trash canning.

He just HAD to go and be just another scripted KommieKunt mouthpiece, didn't he? He was so much better when he just kept his mouth shut, but when they yank the leash, they yank the leash.

I just biked all around Stanford and there was ZERO mention of the ICE crackdown.

I looked at all kiosks, bulletin boards, anything taped up. They still have their Palestine decorations up, and maybe some new ones, but zippo about ICE.

I was surprised. There are usually all kinds of leftie posters there.

Maybe even the Stanford students are sick of the endless flood of criminal aliens.

When I paid attention during my last month visit at bicycle stand next to their library, they look cheap bicycles also there are fliers for food assistance!!

Few months back, I was at a different gov university campus and there was a “surprising” protest. All were super fat females, barely able to stand up and move their bodies! LOL Even security guards/police had hard times watching them leaving the place! All were bad hires or don’t have enough funds to hiring at least few good looking people!

I think it was Vance who mentioned that under Obama, turning someone away at the border was classified as a "deportation", which is a pretty dishonest way to inflate the score.

LOL that dancing furry. Sometimes I seriously think they're just having a good time out there.

dishonest, liberal, inflated ego.... say it ain't so.

So you justify deadly force against a US Citizen based on a previous incident with a completely different person? Do you think if someone almost killed me, and the next time I thought I might get into a similar circumstance with a completely different person and I killed someone based on that assumption I would cleared of murder?

Are you even thinking about what you're saying anymore? You used to be a voice of reason, now you're just part of the mob.

That experience probably added to this officer's fears, but its completely irrelevant for justification. Anybody who purposefully and unlawfully directs deadly force at someone is at risk if being killed in self defense. It's even irrelevant to as whether this was a LEO or a civilian who shot her. The fact that she was asked to step out of the car multiple times and refused/resisted arrest only makes it worse. It's tragic but if she survived she would have been prosecuted and convicted, not the LEO. People who visit or moves to the US have been regularly reminded to follow LEOs orders for their own safety. US citizens should know. To avoid further tragedies during this situation Trump should enact a curfew, invoking the insurrection act if necessary. So the situation can calm down and LEOs and bystanders aren't constantly in danger.

Yes, if you deliberately drive into a man with a gun, you should expect to be shot.

You're reading way too much into what I said. I didn't say that murder is justified by past experiences, but that officer was 110% justified in shooting someone attempting to drive over him, no matter what his history.

Nope, not based on that, but based on that bald wacko lesbo deliberately driving into him while her "wife" was egging her on to do it.

Aha! Now things make a lot more sense.

Looks like the corrupt Police Chief decided that not getting arrested under the Insurrection Act was more important than being unpopular and unpromoted at the local Freemason lodges.

Frey stated during that press conference to "get on the streets and fight ICE". How is that reasonably interpreted as peacefully protesting along the street on the sidewalks ?
