Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey said his city is being “invaded” by the federal government amid reports that 1,500 active-duty soldiers were being readied for deployment to Minnesota and President Donald Trump’s threats of invoking the Insurrection Act to quell protests.
"I never thought in a million years that we would be invaded by our own federal government,” the Democratic mayor told CNN Sunday. “They’ve got 3,000 or so ICE agents and Border Patrol. That they are now talking about deploying 1,500 military– this is, well it’s ridiculous.”
