President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, which would allow him to put the US military on American streets, unless demonstrations against federal immigration operations in Minneapolis come to an end.
"The Insurrection Act was always the plan, and Minneapolis is the test case," said Melanie D'Arrigo, executive director of the Campaign for New York Health. "They sent ICE in to terrorize and attack Black and brown communities to provoke a response that would justify deploying the military domestically in Blue cities. This has never been about immigration."
