After shooting another person in Minneapolis, federal agents then proceeded to use tear gas, stun grenades and other harsh measures against protesters who were rightly on edge and angry at the presence of ICE agents in the city. Trump's threats to escalate the federal siege on Minneapolis to the use of the Insurrection Act are straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
An ICE agent is in the hospital after being violently attacked by an illegal immigrant from Venezuela. This attack against a brave law enforcement officer comes as Minnesota Democrats shamelessly continue to urge the public to resist the work of federal officials. President Trump is right to consider invoking the Insurrection Act to protect federal agents who are conducting law enforcement operations.
