Pentagon readies 1,500 soldiers to possibly deploy to Minnesota, officials say

 What to know

The Pentagon ordered 1,500 soldiers to prepare for possible deployment to Minnesota after President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act amid unrest there. The move follows Trump’s pressure on Minnesota’s Democratic leaders amid his immigration crackdown in Minneapolis. The Insurrection Act, last used during the 1992 L.A. riots, allows domestic troop deployment during “rebellion.” Trump’s previous domestic military deployments have been legally challenged with mixed results.
