Flooding the web: Calls for Trump to invoke Insurrection Act
Already, Rep. Nancy Mace R-S.C., has called on President Trump to arrest Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for his implied threat to send state National Guard troops against federal immigration agents who are in Minnesota to enforce the nation’s border laws.
“Let me remind Governor Walz: President Trump is the Commander in Chief. Using your National Guard to obstruct federal law enforcement violates the Supremacy Clause. Inciting rebellion or insurrection against the authority of the United States is also a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 2383. President Trump should have him arrested and charged accordingly,” she said.
Now similar comments are flooding the internet, including a recommendation from Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., that Trump should invoke the Insurrection Act.
That assigns to the president the power to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement.

Invoke the Insurrection Act.
Arrest Tim Walz. https://t.co/r7i7MnlWrT

“Invoke the Insurrection,” she demands in a social media post.
Walz was infuriated on Wednesday when a woman was shot while protesting the presence of federal law enforcement in Minnesota, which has been engulfed in a multi-billion dollar scandal involving fraud in social services programs that appears to encompass the state’s huge Somali immigrant community.
A woman on Wednesday protesting those officers apparently drove her vehicle toward the officers, and was shot and killed.
Fox reports the responses were to Walz’s challenges: “We do not need any further help from the federal government. To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough. I’ve issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard.”
There was a flood of comments similar to Miller’s:
A sitting governor threatening to deploy the National Guard against federal law enforcement is an open act of defiance.
The Insurrection Act exists for moments exactly like this.

Holy shit…
Governor Walz just said he is deploying the Minnesota National Guard to protect Minnesotans from “rogue federal agents”, meaning ICE.
This is EXTREMELY dangerous stuff.
I’m talking Civil War Fort Sumter.

Fox reported Walz, under state law, can deploy the guard for the “defense or relief of the state, the enforcement of the law, the protection of persons.”
