Posting to his Truth Social platform on January 15, President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act supposedly because “the corrupt politicians of Minnesota” aren’t stopping “the professional agitators and insurrectionists” from attacking Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Several right-wing media personalities backed him up, saying that it’s “time to do it” and claiming that “Trump’s core base, the hardest core of MAGA” are “the biggest advocate of invoking the Insurrection Act.”
