Republican President of the United States of America Donald Trump again threatened Minnesota authorities today that he would "be forced to act" if protests against a federal anti-immigrant operation continue in the US state, which is governed by opposition Democrats.
Trump did this via his social network Truth Social, reports the American media network CNN, noting that the American president did not mention this time that he would apply the rarely used Riot Suppression Act against Minnesota, which would allow him to send regular troops there.
"In Minnesota, those who are causing trouble, who are agitating and inciting are, in many cases, highly paid professionals. The Governor (Tim Walz) and the Mayor (Minneapolis Jacob Frey) have completely lost control," Trump said, writing in capital letters that they are "useless."
He then wrote: "If, and when, I am forced to act, this will be resolved, quickly and effectively."
A day earlier, Trump said he would invoke the Riot Control Act if necessary, "to quickly end the travesty that is taking place in that once-great state (Minnesota)."
Minneapolis, Minnesota's largest city, is protesting after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer shot a woman in the head and killed her as part of a massive anti-immigrant operation.
Minneapolis was the epicenter of major riots in 2020, after the police killed George Floyd there.
