    Jan 15 2026

    We're following a second shooting by a federal agent in Minneapolis. The Department of Homeland Security said the man who was shot and wounded in the leg was fleeing agents. It led to protests with chemicals deployed by law enforcement last night.


    President Trump has threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy troops to what he said would put an end to protests in the state. We learn the legal ins and outs of the Insurrection Act.


    And the family of Renee Macklin Good, the woman who was killed by an ICE officer last week, has hired a lawyer for an independent civil investigation of her death.


    Plus, we learn about how businesses and a church are responding to the flood of ICE agents to Minnesota.

  • A Minnesota law professor explains the Insurrection Act
    Jan 15 2026

    President Donald Trump threatened on social media Thursday to invoke the Insurrection Act to stop resistance to ICE activity in Minnesota.


    United States presidents have used the act about 30 times in the past, according to NPR. The most recent was in 1992. That year, President George H.W. Bush invoked the law to quell riots in Los Angeles after four police officers were acquitted in the beating of Rodney King.


    Trump has talked before about using the law to support immigration enforcement.


    For perspective on the law, MPR News host Nina Moini talked with University of Minnesota law professor Ilan Wurman, who specializes in Constitutional law and presidential power.
