The Pentagon has ordered approximately 1,500 active-duty US troops to prepare for a possible deployment to quell unrest in Minnesota, the Washington Post wrote on Sunday, citing defense officials.
Months of demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents in the area spiked sharply earlier in January following the fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis.
The Pentagon has now put troops from the Alaska-based 11th Airborne Division on standby in case the violence in Minnesota escalates, WaPo wrote, citing a US defense official. It is not yet clear if they will be deployed, he reportedly said.
The Pentagon typically prepares for any decision the US president could make, the outlet cited a White House spokesperson as saying.
On Thursday, US President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the 1807 Insurrection Act if “corrupt politicians” don’t stop “professional agitators and insurrectionists” from attacking ICE agents. The federal law would allow for the deployment of troops to eliminate domestic civil disorder or a rebellion.
Trump has repeatedly clashed with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey over his ongoing immigration crackdown in the state.
The US DOJ has reportedly opened a criminal investigation into both of the officials. The probe, which is likely to involve subpoenas, examines an alleged conspiracy to impede federal immigration agents operating in the state, multiple outlets reported on Friday.
Both Walz and Frey have sharply criticized Trump’s decision to deploy nearly 3,000 federal agents to the Twin Cities earlier in January, with the mayor publicly telling them to “get the f**k out of Minneapolis” after an ICE agent fatally shot local lesbian Renee Good.
Tensions skyrocketed following the killing, leading to multiple clashes between protesters and ICE agents.

The majority of Minnesotans are NOT against ICE. What we have here are paid, rabid dog agitators pretending to be Minnesota residents. That woman who got shot, Renee Good was part of a PAID group of anti-ICE protesters who have descended on Minnesota to wreak havoc. I mean, why would Minnesotans whose tax dollars have been funding fraud on a massive scale have a problem with ICE getting those folks out of here, along with others who are committing heinous crimes? We would not!
And we need 15,000 U.S. military troops to get this mess out of here! And we need them now because those rabid dogs out on our streets are not merely making ICE their target, they are targeting innocent Minnesotans as well. Trump needs to send U.S. troops to Minnesota, NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess Trump will need to make a decision whether to deploy troops to Greenland, Iran, Venezuela or Minneapolis. No one can fight a war on four fronts – especially with US troops who are morbidly obese and suffering from Covid vax injures.
