President Donald Trump is escalating tensions in Minneapolis by threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act amid ongoing protests against federal immigration enforcement. The unrest follows a shooting by a federal officer during an ICE operation and comes just days after a separate fatal incident that has fueled public anger. As Trump signals he may deploy the military to restore order, city and state leaders condemn federal tactics while warning protesters against further escalation. In this episode, we break down what the Insurrection Act is, why its potential use is so controversial, and what this moment could mean for civil liberties, immigration enforcement, and the balance of power between the White House and local governments.
