That's because he doesn't know a damn thing about the job he is supposed to be doing. He wouldn't know #Intel from bagatelle. #Terror attacks are on the way and that is part of his plan for #Martial #Law and the #InsurrectionAct. He's going to blame it on us, or not, but still shut down elections.

Trump sta usando L'ICE per fomentare i disordini al punto tale da dichiarare l'insurrezione ed attivare l'Insurrection Act bloccando così le elezioni di middle term. È quello che teme, e non solo lui, il
Governatore del Minnesota Tim Walz, che dispone la mobilitazione della Guardia Nazionale statale a supporto della Minnesota State Patrol, probabilmente per evitare veri e propri scontri tra l'Ice e i neri del Black Power.Intanto Trump fa mettere sotto inchiesta sia il Governatore del Minnesota che il Sindaco di Minneapolis. Avevano denunvisto di essere stati esclusi dall'indagine federale sull'assassinio di Renée Good.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to #Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

If you know somebody serving in the military, any day would be a good day to chat with them about this and that. You know, gardening, exercise tips, recipes, whether or not it's ok to shoot civilians if the President orders you to. Just day to day stuff. #trump #insurrectionact #uspol

@atrupar @gwaldby Of course the regime wants violence. They’re practically begging for it. If there’s violence that opens the door to the #InsurrectionAct and #MartialLaw and every other thing that goes along with that. I’ll just keep hoping/praying that the only violence will keep being from their side only.

I don't see any way out of this. Neither do the experts.

Trump’s Threat to Invoke the #InsurrectionAct , Explained
The #Insurrection Act is meant to be a rarely-used exception to our foundational principle that the American #military should not police the American people on domestic soil. That general rule exists for good reasons: military policing of #civilians is corrosive to #democracy and it puts our #civilLiberties and #rights in peril.

Trump’s regime has ramped up #ICE racist attacks targeting Somali, Latino and Asian communities —battering down doors, raiding small businesses and forcing them to shutter, trailing school buses, dropping tear gas outside schools, circling hospitals. He has threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct which would allow him to deploy the military to #Minneapolis.
Under siege, #Minnesota is leaning on organizations at work and in their neighborhoods to end the terror.

The move comes just days after Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Trump’s threat against Minnesota this week is the latest example of how his administration has considered using arcane laws and legal arguments to enact his agenda.
In addition to the #InsurrectionAct, Trump officials have talked publicly about #suspending #due #process, a foundational constitutional principle.
Trump invoked the
#AlienEnemiesAct last year
to speed up deportations of alleged Venezuelan gang members.White House officials considered using it a second time to justify detaining people in Chicago, according to previously unreported Signal messages obtained by the Minnesota Star Tribune.
The 1798 wartime law,
designed to combat an invasion or predatory incursion,
has only been used three times prior to this administration.
-- The last time was during World War II.Opponents have aggressively fought the administration in court over these maneuvers.
This week, both Minnesota and Illinois filed lawsuits challenging the legality of Trump’s immigration enforcement.
The Illinois Attorney General’s Office alleged federal agents acted as “occupiers” instead of law enforcement during operations in the state last fall.
In separate cases, federal judges issued temporary restraining orders in both #Portland and #Chicago #Illinois, stopping the administration from sending National Guard troops into those cities.
A judge ordered troops out of #California in December, saying it violated the law.
And another judge has limited the use of the Alien Enemies Act to deport people.
In an interview with the New York Times, #Trump suggested the Insurrection Act could provide a work-around to legal rulings.
“Look, I’ve been stopped on some things,” he told the newspaper last week.
“Now, I will say, if I feel it’s important to invoke the Insurrection Act,
which I have the right to do,
that’s a different thing,
because then I have the right to do pretty much what I want to do.
But I haven’t done that.” -

Letters from an American – January 15, 2026 – Heather Cox Richardson
Letters from an American, January 15, 2026
By Heather Cox Richardson, Jan 15, 2026
You know what Americans aren’t talking about very much today after Trump’s threat to detonate the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) this week and his threat this morning to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota?
They aren’t talking a lot about the fact that the Department of Justice has released less than 1% of the Epstein files despite the law, the Epstein Files Transparency Act, Congress passed requiring the release of those files in full no later than December 19.
Trump loyalists are trying to shift public anger at Trump over the files back to former president Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whom QAnon conspiracy theorists believed were at the heart of a child sex trafficking scheme.
Representative James Comer (R-KY) has threatened to hold former president Clinton in contempt of Congress for refusing to appear for a closed-door deposition about Epstein. But in a scathing four-page public letter to Comer, the Clintons called the subpoenas invalid and noted that Comer had subpoenaed eight people in addition to the Clintons and had then dismissed seven of them without testimony.
They also noted that Comer had done nothing to force the Department of Justice to release all the Epstein files as required by law, including all the material relating to them, as Bill Clinton has publicly called for. They said, “There is no plausible explanation for what you are doing other than partisan politics.”
The Epstein files are the backdrop for everything else, but also getting less attention than they would in any normal era are the fact that an agent for Immigration and Customs Enforcement shot and killed a 37-year-old white mother a little more than a week ago and that President Donald J. Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem all defended her killing by calling Renee Good and her wife “domestic terrorists.”
As G. Elliott Morris noted today in Strength in Numbers, more Americans disapprove of that shooting and the way ICE is behaving than approve of them by a margin of about 20 points. There is a gap of about 8 points between Americans who want ICE abolished over those who don’t. Morris writes: “Trump has turned what was nominally a bad issue for him (–6 on immigration and –10 on deportations, per my tracking) into a complete sh*t show in the court of public opinion.” Although immigration had been one of Trump’s strongest positions, now only 20–30% of Americans favor the way ICE is enforcing Trump’s immigration policies.
While Trump and administration officials insist they have had to crack down violently on undocumented immigrants because an organized arm of the Tren de Aragua gang has invaded the United States, Dell Cameron and Ryan Shapiro of Wired reported yesterday that they had obtained hundreds of records showing that U.S. intelligence described Tren de Aragua not as a terrorist threat, but as a source of fragmented, low-level crime. Although Attorney General Pam Bondi insisted that Tren de Aragua “is a highly structured terrorist organization that put down roots in our country during the prior administration,” U.S. officials in 2025 doubted whether the gang even operated in the U.S.
In the wake of Good’s murder, the administration sent more agents to Minnesota in what appears to be an attempt to gin up protests that change the subject from Good’s murder and appear to justify ICE’s violence. Today, Minnesota governor Tim Walz asked Minnesotans to bear witness: “You have an absolute right to peacefully film ICE agents as they conduct these activities…. Help us create a database of the atrocities against Minnesotans, not just to establish a record for posterity, but to bank evidence for future prosecution.”
Last night a federal agent shot and wounded a man in Minneapolis, setting off clashes in the area between agents with tear gas and flash-bang grenades and about 200 protesters who threw snowballs and firecrackers at the agents. What happened between the agent and the victim is unclear: Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs, Mitch Smith, and Hamed Aleaziz of the New York Times reported that a Minneapolis police supervisor told protesters he didn’t know what happened, saying, “It’s not like [the agents are] talking to us.”

RE: https://c.im/@cdarwin/115901426247196926
Although the Insurrection Act appears to confer wide-ranging authority,
the Department of Justice has long taken the position that the law is
“limited . . . by the Constitution and by tradition.”In a 1964 memorandum,
the deputy attorney General wrote that the law may be invoked in three circumstances:when a state requests help in putting down an insurrection,
when deployment is needed to enforce a federal court order,
or when “state and local law enforcement have completely broken down.”
Moreover, even on its face,
the Insurrection Act only permits the use of troops to enforce either federal laws or a narrow category of state laws
(essentially, civil rights protections).Troops could not be used, for instance, to combat street crime, as that type of criminal activity is governed by state and local laws.
Most important,
no statute can override the Constitution.Accordingly, troops deployed under the Insurrection Act may not violate individuals’ constitutional rights.
They may not, for example,
search a person’s home without a warrant.And while the Insurrection Act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act,
it is not an exception to other federal laws that might apply to their conduct(for instance, the law criminalizing the presence of federal troops at polling places).
