US President Donald Trump has threatened to invoke the rarely used Insurrection Act to quell unrest over federal immigration enforcement operations in Minneapolis. He warned of troop deployment following protests and vandalism stemming from a shooting incident wherein an ICE agent shot a man in the leg. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported that the officer was attacked with a shovel and broom handle by three Venezuelan nationals. Tensions have flared since an ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good last week, leading to nationwide protests.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem characterized the recent clash as an 'attempted murder of federal law enforcement,' while local officials dispute the agent's justification for lethal force. Protests continue to unfold in Minneapolis, fueled by community frustration and the unprecedented actions of federal immigration agents. Local leaders are urging for de-escalation, but the backdrop remains tense as Trump maintains his hardline stance on immigration enforcement.
