In an interview with Fox News\u2019 Laura Ingraham, Homan said he didn\u2019t want to speculate about what Trump would do, but did say invoking the act is a \u201cviable option.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIs it time for the Insurrection Act, or would that just add gasoline to the fire?\u201d Ingraham asked during the segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to get ahead of the President on that,\u201d Homan replied, \u201cbut it\u2019s certainly an option, a viable option. So actually, I\u2019ll be meeting with the President tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s something that needs to be on the table, because this cannot continue,\u201d Homan added. \u201cThere is going to be more bloodshed. I\u2019m telling you, I hope I\u2019m wrong. There\u2019s going to be more bloodshed if something isn\u2019t done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd most Minnesotans\u2026support ICE. It\u2019s this radical group of anarchists, and when you see them close up, you really get a sense of who they are,\u201d Ingraham said. \u201cIt\u2019s this crowd, a lot of them paid, a lot of them working double shifts of protests, against the rest of the state\u2026They don\u2019t like what\u2019s happening in the Twin Cities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs far as the organization, everybody that\u2019s planning these protests, giving these people weapons, and funding this. Again, justice is coming, cause we\u2019re deep-diving that whole thing,\u201d Homan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/nicksortor\/status\/2011975096475193433?s=20\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Department of Homeland Security&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/conservativebrief.com\/dhs-arrests-98169\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">said it arrested a man<\/a>&nbsp;in Minneapolis on Wednesday night who assaulted a federal immigration agent while carrying a firearm and a box of ammunition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The arrest occurred several hours after a separate federal agent was attacked by an illegal migrant from Venezuela who allegedly struck the agent with a shovel. DHS said the migrant was shot in the leg during the encounter, an incident that officials say contributed to escalating riots in the city, Fox News reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLast night during a riot in Minneapolis, a U.S. citizen was arrested for assaulting officers while carrying a firearm,\u201d DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe individual showed up to the protest with a gun and a box of ammunition in a bag. The individual threatened violence against law enforcement officers while pointing at his bag,\u201d McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She said law enforcement deployed crowd control measures as the situation became increasingly volatile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAfter law enforcement deployed crowd control measures to calm an increasingly volatile crowd, the individual kicked a metal smoke canister at officers. He then pushed an officer, and he was arrested for assault,\u201d McLaughlin explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>McLaughlin said the man told officers during his arrest that he was armed. A firearm and a box of ammunition were recovered, and officials determined he was not carrying a concealed carry permit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is not the peaceful protesting that the First Amendment protects,\u201d McLaughlin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tensions in Minneapolis have remained high as federal law enforcement officers face repeated confrontations with protesters and agitators. Riots began shortly after the Jan. 7 death of 37-year-old Minneapolis resident Renee Nicole Good, who was shot and killed by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent during an altercation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem referred to Good as a \u201cdomestic terrorist,\u201d alleging she used her vehicle as a weapon after obstructing ICE agents on a roadway.<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Border Czar Tom Homan said during a Thursday evening interview that he planned to speak to President Donald Trump on Friday about invoking the Insurrection Act to&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":12780,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12779","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12779","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=12779"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12779\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12781,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12779\/revisions\/12781"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/12780"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=12779"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=12779"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=12779"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
