3. President Donald Trump suggested Thursday that he could invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 and allow the U.S. military to be used for law enforcement purposes amid tension in Minnesota.

   "If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don't obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots of ICE, who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the Insurrection Act," Trump wrote Thursday on Truth Social.

   The Insurrection Act of 1807 allows the president to deploy federal troops and federalize the National Guard to enforce federal law or suppress domestic insurrection, rebellion, or violence, particularly when state authorities are unable or unwilling to maintain order. The post comes one day after a federal officer shot a person in the leg after allegedly being attacked with a shovel. The shooting was about five miles from the location where an immigration agent shot Renee Good in the head on Jan. 7 as she attempted to drive away.

   The presence of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, coupled with the fatal shooting of Good, has led to demonstrations in the Twin Cities region. On Wednesday, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz accused the Trump administration of raining down trauma, calling the current crackdown "a campaign of organized brutality against the people of Minnesota by our own federal government."
