President Trump has moved to place more than 1,500 Army paratroopers on standby as chaotic anti-ICE protests sweep Minnesota.
In the wake of violent clashes in Minneapolis between demonstrators and law enforcement, the White House has reportedly asked federal troops to stand at the ready.
Defense officials revealed the plans to ABC News on Saturday, saying the active duty soldiers would be deployed from the 11th Airborne Division, which is based in Alaska.
The base is reportedly one of the Army’s premier infantry units positioned to help deter China, but Trump is set to move resources to crush protests that erupted in Minneapolis over the ICE shooting of resident Renee Good on January 7.
Officials reportedly said Trump has not yet decided if the troops will be deployed.
‘We are taking prudent steps to prepare active-duty Army forces,’ one official said. ‘This doesn’t mean they will deploy; we are preparing options.’

Trump is not only justified but required to use as many troops and as much force as needed to stop the rioting.
That is the sworn duty of any president of USA; and also it is in the public’s overwhelming interest and desire.
This is a time when the illegitimate force of the rioters, much of it bought and paid for, must be met with a legitimate force strong enough to end the mayhem, swiftly and resolutely.
Doing that will require violence on the part of law enforcement, arrests, and incarcerations.
This is not a time for weakness. Illegitimate force must be met with a greater legitimate force.
Once Trump is successful in Minnesota, he must move quickly to the next state and continue, one state after the other until Biden’s treasonous invasion is defeated, detained and deported. ABN
