Trump's Increasing Consideration of the Insurrection Act and Its Implications

President Trump frequently references the Insurrection Act, a law granting emergency powers to deploy active-duty military in civilian law enforcement, which has historically been used in crises but also to suppress protests. While Trump has threatened to invoke it amid protests and unrest, legal and military experts warn of its broad powers and potential for misuse, with ongoing court cases and constitutional debates about its application. The law's invocation could significantly alter the legal and political landscape regarding military involvement in domestic issues.
