Republicans Call on Trump To Arrest Walz

Republican lawmakers are calling on President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act after Minnesota Gov.

Tim Walz warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement.

“Invoke the Insurrection Act.

Arrest Tim Walz,” Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., wrote on X,

arguing that Walz’s remarks suggested interference with federal law enforcement.

Walz said the warning order was meant as a precaution following heightened tensions around ICE operations.

“We do not need any further help from the federal government,”

he said, adding that he had ordered the Minnesota National Guard to prepare, stressing it was only “a heads-up for folks.”

He also said, “Minnesota will not allow our community to be used as a prop in a national political fight.”

Other Republicans said Walz’s comments sounded like opposition to federal authority.

Rep. Rich McCormick said it appeared he was threatening to use “military force to oppose a federal armed force,” while Rep.

Nancy Mace said, “What Walz is threatening has a name: insurrection. Mr. President, the law is on your side. Use it.”
