US Military Prepares 1,500 Troops for Potential Deployment to Minnesota Amid Rising Protests
According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the US Department of Defense (Pentagon) has directed 1,500 military personnel to prepare for potential deployment to Minnesota in response to escalating protests. The move comes after President Donald Trump threatened to activate the Insurrection Act amid growing tensions in the state.
The Washington Post reported that the military has placed these forces on standby. Trump warned that he would enforce the law if state officials fail to prevent protesters from targeting immigration authorities.
The President described the protesters as professional insurgents. The unrest follows the fatal shooting of a woman by a US immigration officer, which sparked widespread demonstrations across Minnesota.
