#insurrection act

🚨ALARM: Karoline Leavitt lays groundwork for Trump invoking the INSURRECTION ACT ahead of the midterms.

“The Insurrection Act is a tool at the president’s disposal. Democrats are deranged in their hatred for President Trump.”

20th April 2025 is almost upon us and this is part of Project 2025!

Heads up! A dangerous window is opening before April 20

Trump’s executive order declaring a national emergency at the southern border may be more than political theater, but a strategic move pulled straight from the Project 2025 playbook, and it may be laying the groundwork for martial law in the United States.

The order demands that the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Homeland Security submit a joint report by April 20, 2025, outlining the steps needed to achieve “complete operational control” of the southern border. That language alone is militaristic, but it gets worse: the order explicitly invites recommendations to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807.

The Insurrection Act allows the president to deploy the U.S. military on domestic soil, even against citizens.

Project 2025 explicitly promotes the use of this law to quash unrest, target political enemies, and sideline governors or local officials who refuse to comply.

Once invoked, it can override the Posse Comitatus Act, which normally prohibits military enforcement of civilian laws.

This may be less about immigration and more about setting a precedent, one that could quickly expand to include protests, strikes, sanctuary cities, and dissent of any kind.

We’re now on a 90-day countdown that ends April 20, a point at which Trump’s administration could attempt to justify domestic military deployment under the guise of “border control.” But Project 2025 shows the border is just the start.

If this report recommends invoking the Insurrection Act, we could witness one of the most dangerous escalations of executive power in modern U.S. history.

Emily Singer at Daily Kos:

The doomsday scenario former Vice President Kamala Harris and other Democrats warned about has arrived. President Donald Trump on Thursday threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to sic the military on American citizens in Minnesota, which is already under siege by armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents who are brutalizing citizens in the streets and even killing them in cold blood. In a Truth Social post, Trump falsely accused Minnesotans—who have been racially profiled and violently beaten by immigration agents—of being paid protesters. Trump said that if Minnesota's leaders 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 the INSURRECTION 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." Of course, the protesters are not paid. 

[...] In fact, many of the people getting beaten and arrested aren’t even protesters. They were just people caught in the wrong place at the wrong time who filmed the horrifying behavior of agents—as the First Amendment gives them the right to do. 

Dictator-in-Chief Donald Trump hints that he would threaten to invoke the Insurrection Act in Minnesota if protests against his regime’s ICE goons don’t stop.

Couple Says ICE Agents Gassed Them as They Drove With 6 Children

Ice agents violently attacked them for the crime of being innocent black people just trying to drive home, endangering six children, one of them a baby who they could have killed.

They refuse to explain why they decided to tear gas a car full of kids to the point they were struggling to breathe and the baby was foaming at the mouth.

They dragged an innocent disabled US citizen from her car for the pleasure of keeping her from a doctor's appointment, illegally detaining her in the absence of any crime and denying her medical treatment until they passed out.
