Trump is very unlikely to even try to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 up in Minneapolis. Certainly he knows that there is zero credibilty to the claim that local law enforcement is being prevented from keeping the peace, in any meaningful way.
And, in any event, the ICE DHS people he has deployed there have no statutory authority to work as a "mini National Guard". And the Supremes told him just three weeks ago, that the real National Guard cannot lawfully be deployed in these situations.
In any event, the schedule will look like this, from here forward -- in Minneapolis:
. . .The Court will treat the Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order as a Motion for Preliminary Injunction, and will handle it on an expedited basis. The Defendants must file a response to the Motion on or before January 19, 2026, by 6:00 CST. The Plaintiffs may file a reply memorandum on or before January 22, 2026, by 6:00 CST. The Court will determine when to hold a hearing and whether an evidentiary hearing is necessary following review of the Defendants position.
In addition, the Plaintiffs advised that they may seek expedited discovery regarding some of the matters at issue in this proceeding. The parties should meet and confer following January 19th to discuss this matter, and can approach the Court to address it after such a conference. The parties may also submit a Protective Order to enable the exchange of information.
Ordered by Judge Katherine M. Menendez. . . .
Onward, resolutely -- we will deal peacefully with these cretins under Greg Bovino's command -- and under Noem's. I suppose he could try to call the US Army forward, but the Supremes have ruled that they cannot be so used (in Illinois at least) -- and likely, near half of them might decide to disobey any such Hegseth order -- on the authority of Scott Kelly having said that they have a duty to ignore unlawful / unconstitutional orders, under the Uniform Military Code of Justice.
