Insurrection Act: Potential Tool for Trump to Deploy Troops in U.S. Cities

President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy military troops to US cities amid protests and legal challenges, claiming an insurrection in Portland, though evidence and officials dispute this. The law allows the president to deploy troops during major rebellions, but legal experts question the legality of Trump's threats and actions, which have included deploying National Guard units without invoking the Act. The last use of the Act was in 1992 during Los Angeles riots.
