Possible Minnesota Troop Deployment

The Trump administration is reportedly directing 1,500 active duty soldiers to stand ready and possibly be deployed to Minnesota. Clashes with law enforcement and anti-ice violence are on the rise. NTD's Arian Pazdar has more. Protests in Minnesota escalating this weekend. Anti-ice protesters clashed with right-leaning counter protesters as anti-ice rhetoric is on the rise. The Trump administration is now reportedly directing 1,500 troops to stand ready and possibly be deployed to Minnesota. That's according to multiple outlets, citing unnamed administration officials on Sunday. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller commented on the situation in Minnesota while on Fox News. These are acts of insurrection against the laws of the United States and against the sovereignty of the United States. Foreign illegal aliens who broke into this country, who then raped children, who committed human trafficking, sex trafficking, drug trafficking, protected, shielded, sheltered, coddled, defended at every level by the leadership in Minnesota. Trump on Sunday questioning why Minnesota officials are against ice enforcement, asking do they really want murderers and drug dealers to be ensconced in their community. Miller says another separate issue is that if ice agents get attacked, local law enforcement can't support the ice officers. It's not clear yet if the 1,500 troops will actually be deployed. Reports say for now they only received orders to prepare to possibly be sent to Minnesota. When ice goes out to make these arrests, they unleash violent mobs to attack, assault and impede ice officers. And they refuse to allow the city police to protect those ice officers in the context of their duties, willfully aiding and abetting this violence. The soldiers subject to deployment specialize in cold weather operations and are currently stationed in Alaska. Ariane Passar, NTD News.
