President Donald Trump could announce as early as Monday night that hes invoking a 213-year-old federal law that would allow him to deploy active-duty U.S. troops to respond to protests in cities across the country, according to four people familiar with the decision.
The military police forces would come from Fort Bragg in North Carolina and possibly Fort Belvoir in Virginia and could arrive in Washington within hours, these people said.
Trumps decision to invoke the Insurrection Act, adopted in 1807, to deploy troops comes as his frustrations mount over the protests that have followed the death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed in police custody last week in Minneapolis. The people familiar with his decision said he was angry Sunday night at the destruction protestors caused in Washington, particularly the vandalization of national monuments

Carmel to sue Minneapolis to recover protection expenses
Martial Law is here folks like I have been telling you and rightfully so. He had to do this and this ANTIFA violence is the last straw!!
Invoke the ‘Custer’s last stand’ act and let’s get busy.
We will see what Trump actually does. He will likely deploy the military for DC which is a no-brainer.
Beyond that ... from a political standpoint it is probably best for each state to clean up their own mess.
Regular troops in DC tonight and they will strictly enforce the curfew that starts in 2 minutes.
There's one thing I'd bet my net worth on....this whole thing is being orchestrated directly from Rat Party Headquarters...just like "Occupy Wall Street".
Trial balloon to scare the Dem governors into acting like they should and protect the people and their property.
He’s doing it THANK GOD..he’s bringing in the military to DC, told all the governors today if they dont do their damn jobs and protect their states he will bring the military to their states too
The Commie left wants us to be like China, so let’s show them what being like China is all about..cant have it both ways
Even in the worst 1960s riots I dont think the insurrection act was brought out.

This time it really IS insurrection.
The troops will be deployed strategically. They need to break the insurgents and the governors with unarmed NG are incapable of that.
I take back what I said.
Invoke “Insurrection Act” and be the force standing behind the local forces.
In DC to protect the capitol. OK. Other places lets wait a couple of hours. The DemS are really Desperate to pin something but people are wise to the Sorocratic Party
The question is whether the antifa creeps and their allies in the BLM movement and the democrat party have achieved the critical mass necessary to sustain a insurrection. These people are funded, organized and they have numbers. They’re communicating on the dark web and they have a distributed leadership structure. The federal military is a hammer and anybody in their way is a nail. If DJT deploys them to the streets of any city it will not go well.
Dark Days coming folks... Stay Safe, Keep your heads low, Stay out of the way. It’s gonna get hot this summer.
Funny how “Rebellion” is just a small step from Resistance!
Isn’t this what Hillary and Democrats have been pleading for for 4 years? Resist!
The Marxist Media will bad-mouth no matter what he does. He should call out the military for DC, which is a ward of the federal government. He should make the military available for any State that requests assistance.
Airborne to DC. I think hes doing it
“Wrong decision.”
He just said a couple minutes ago that he expects the states’ governors to deploy their respective National Guards to stop the insurrection, but if they don’t he will deploy US military troops. He can deploy them anyway in D.C.
Um, I know that the left wants Trump to act. But....he needs to act and protect the country and the good people who are being destroyed by this lawlessness.
