“After law enforcement deployed crowd control measures to calm an increasingly volatile crowd, the individual kicked a metal smoke canister at officers.He then pushed an officer, and he was arrested for assault,” McLaughlin explained. 

“While being arrested, he stated he had a firearm, which was located along with a box of ammunition.He was not carrying his concealed carry permit.This is not the peaceful protesting that the First Amendment protects.” 

Tensions in Minneapolis have been high as days of riots ravage the city and federal law enforcement officers face off with agitators. 

Riots began shortly after 37-year-oldRenee Nicole Good was killedby an ICE agent during an altercation in Minneapolis last week.

“If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute theINSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State,” Trump posted to TRUTH Social. 

Should President Trump invoke the legislation signed into law in 1807, he would be allowed to send National Guardsmen into the area to stabilize control and reduce violence.
