The #Army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case “violence” in #Minnesota escalates, officials said, characterizing the move as “prudent planning.” It is not clear whether any of them will be sent to the state, the officials said, speaking like some others on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive #military planning.

The #Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to #Minnesota, #defense officials told WaPo late Saturday, after #Trump threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct in response to “unrest” [dissent] there.
 The soldiers are assigned to 2 #infantry #battalions with the #Army’s #11thAirborne Division, which is based in Alaska & specializes in #ColdWeather operations.

This is actually what #CivilWar looks like. #Trump is pitting #USsoldiers against #US soldiers on #domestic soil.
 #Pentagon readies 1,500 #soldiers to possibly deploy to #Minnesota
 Troops with the #Army’s #11thAirborne Division in Alaska are preparing after Trump’s #InsurrectionAct threat, according to defense officials.

Much like the Sarollah units, which are deployed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards as an internal security force.

From Iraq to #ICE, the career of #JonathanRoss reflects a 20-year government effort to reshape #immigration enforcement with a #military mind-set.

#Trump this morning cited “attacks” against #immigration agents in #Minnesota as a reason for potentially invoking the #InsurrectionAct to quell #protests. But a review of the federal #judiciary’s central database on Thursday afternoon indicates that NO federal charges—such as assaulting an officer—have been filed against ANYONE in the state in connection with the crackdown over the past week.

#Trump admin ofcls have described anti-#ICE demonstrators in #Minneapolis, including one shot dead by an agent last week, as domestic terrorists. #StephenMiller took that rhetoric a step further on a right-wing talk show Thursday, describing the protests as “an insurgency against the federal government” & an “insurrection.” Earlier, Trump threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct to deploy #troops to quash the #protests.

Via Tennessee Holler:

“They chased him, he got home & when we closed the door they shot him.”

#Minnesota orgs/electeds say this is the family calling the police with #ICE outside, after a man was shot in the leg with a pregnant woman & children inside

Different than #DHS’ shovel #propaganda

For those of you who have never lived somewhere you need to shovel snow —

Snow shovels are designed to be super lightweight because they are used to lift heavy snow. You don’t need the extra weight of a heavy shovel breaking your back.

I’m not saying it’s a good idea to hit someone with a snow shovel, but it doesn’t warrant #shooting in “self defense”.

These are NOT “professional agitators” they are concerned residents & neighbors who are being harassed & violently attacked by untrained trigger happy #ICE & #CBP agents.

While presidents have invoked the #InsurrectionAct, only 2 have done so without the cooperation & at the request of the state’s governor.

Trump’s lie filled statement:

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

#Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the rarely used federal #law to deploy the #US #military or federalize the #NationalGuard for domestic law enforcement, over the objections of #state #governors.

#Trump made the threat after another #shooting by a federal officer of a man in the leg in #Minneapolis on Wednesday after being attacked with a snow shovel & broom [NOT an equal #UseOfForce]. The incident further heightened the sense of fear & anger radiating across the city a week after an #immigration agent fatally shot #ReneeNicoleGood in the head.
