President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military in Minneapolis on Thursday.
White House Press Secretary Carolyn Leavitt is expected to hold a briefing at 1 p.m. EST. Watch the live stream in our video player above.
Trump made the threat after a federal officer trying to arrest a man shot a man in the leg on Wednesday after he was attacked with a shovel and broom. The incident intensified the feeling of fear and anger spreading across the city a week after a woman was shot in the head by an immigration agent.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to activate the rarely used federal law to deploy the US military or federalize the National Guard for local law enforcement, despite the objections of state governors.
“If the corrupt politicians in Minnesota do not abide by the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the patriots at ICE, who are just trying to do their job, then I will pass the Insurrection Act, as many presidents before me have done, and quickly put an end to the farce taking place in this once great state,” Trump said in a social media post.
