The Army’s police units are preparing to head to Minneapolis — on orders from President Trump — if the violence keeps raging over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died at the hands of a white police officer during his arrest.

Defense officials issued the order Saturday on the directive of the commander in chief, three people with knowledge of the order told the Associated Press. A president hasn’t put military police units on alert to deploy to America’s streets since the 1992 riots over the beating of Rodney King, a black man, by cops, the Daily Mail reported.

Trump made the move as fiery protests spread to other cities across the nation — including in Detroit, where a 19-year-old was shot and killed; in Atlanta, where demonstrators set upon CNN’s headquarters and the governor declared a state of emergency; and in New York, where the NYPD arrested more than 200 people Friday in different protests.

The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law ( 10 U.S.C. §§ 251 – 255 ) [1] (until 2016, found at 10 US Code, Chapter 15, §§ 331–335, renumbered to 10 USC, Chapter 13, §§ 251–255) that governs the ability of the
President of the United States to deploy
military troops within the United States to put down lawlessness , insurrection , and rebellion . The general purpose is to limit presidential power, relying on state and local governments for initial response in the event of insurrection. Coupled with the Posse Comitatus Act, presidential powers for federal military law enforcement on U.S. soil and unincorporated territories are limited and delayed.



On September 30, 2006, the Congress modified the Insurrection Act as part of the 2007 Defense Authorization Bill ( repealed as of 2008). Section 1076 of the law changed Sec. 333 of the "Insurrection Act," and widened the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States to enforce the laws. Under this act, the President may also deploy troops as a police force during a natural disaster, epidemic, serious public health emergency, terrorist attack, or other condition, when the President determines that the authorities of the state are incapable of maintaining public order. The bill also modified Sec. 334 of the Insurrection Act, giving the President authority to order the dispersal of either insurgents or "those obstructing the enforcement of the laws." The law changed the name of the chapter from "Insurrection" to "Enforcement of the Laws to Restore Public Order."
The 2008 Defense Authorization Bill repeals the changes made in the 2007 bill . [4]
The 2007 Defense Authorization Bill, with over $500 billion allocated to the military, and which also contained the changes to the Insurrection Act of 1807, was passed by a bipartisan majority of both houses of Congress: 398-23 in the House and by unanimous consent in the
Senate . [5] For military forces to be used under the provisions of the revised Insurrection Act, the following conditions must be met:
To proclaim a state of insurrection is a necessary prerequisite if cascading powers, such as is found in 50 U.S.C. § 212
Confiscation of property employed to aid insurrection, are to be used.
Differences between old and new wording
The original wording of the Act required the conditions as worded in Paragraph (2), above, to be met as the result of
The new wording of the Act, as amended, still requires the same conditions as worded in Paragraph (2), above, but those conditions could, after the changes, also be a result of

By provisions in the amended act, Congress was granted the right to be informed immediately and every 14 days thereafter during the exercise of federal authority under these conditions.
