Tensions are rising in Minnesota’s Twin Cities as protests continue over federal immigration raids and the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent, prompting the Pentagon to place about 1,500 active-duty U.S. Army soldiers on standby for possible deployment. Officials say troops from the Army’s 11th Airborne Division could be mobilised if Donald Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to support civil authorities amid escalating clashes. Local leaders and residents have sharply condemned the operations and potential military involvement, while legal challenges mount against federal tactics.
