Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the Democrat warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement actions in his state.
"Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said in a post to X on Wednesday evening.
Miller’s calls to apply the law, which gives the president powers to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement, follow Walz’s suggestion that he might deploy the National Guard to push back on President Donald Trump’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
As member of Congress pointed out, calling out the National Guard to resist federal law enforcement is what started the Civil War. It is also what Democrats did when ordered to integrate public schools. Does Tampon Tim want to find out what military extraction feels like? Trump can go ahead and federalize the Minnesota National Guard and then they report to him, not Elmer Fudd.
