President Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act since taking office in January 2025, primarily to support immigration enforcement operations and respond to associated protests, including in Los Angeles in 2025 and Minnesota in January 2026 after an ICE shooting sparked demonstrations. No invocation has occurred, consistent with the statute’s last use in 1992. Courts have blocked related efforts to federalize National Guard units under alternative authorities like 10 U.S.C. § 12406, increasing focus on the Insurrection Act’s broader domestic deployment powers. Trader attention centers on whether ongoing border or protest situations, or potential mid-November 2026 midterm election security concerns, will prompt actual use before year-end, with legislative reform proposals pending in Congress.
