President Donald Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy federal troops in Minnesota amid ongoing protests against expanded Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. These threats followed incidents in January 2026 in which ICE agents fatally shot a civilian and wounded another during enforcement actions, prompting demonstrations that local officials have described as largely peaceful. No invocation has occurred as of early June 2026. The 1807 statute permits the president to use military forces domestically to enforce federal law or suppress unrest when state authorities are deemed unable or unwilling to act. Congressional efforts to reform the law, including a 2025 bill, remain pending, while courts have previously limited related National Guard deployments. Trader assessments of invocation likelihood reflect these enforcement tensions and institutional checks.
