Pentagon readies 1,500 troops for potential Minnesota deployment, US officials say
The army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case violence in the midwestern state escalates, officials said, though it is not clear whether any of them will be sent.

😱 he's right!
2026 is seeing that the U.S. Army is mobilizing a unit specialized for winter conditions, but not knowing if the intended mission is violent repression of an American city or stealing territory from a U.S. treaty ally.

The eight European countries targeted by U.S. President Donald Trump for a 10% tariff for opposing American control of Greenland have criticized the move in an unusually strong joint statement.

People in Minnesota are now using their key fobs to trigger their car alarms from the safety of their homes when they see ICE walking around.

Dayumm she's rocking it! #StopICE
The first thing Virginia Spanberger did after being sworn in as Governor of Virginia was repeal Youngkin’s executive order requiring state and local law enforcement to cooperate with ICE.
This is the kind of leadership Democratic governors nationwide should be emulating.

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Even the threat of sending in the 11th Airborne Division arguably constitutes a form of domestic state terrorism.
ABC News reporting 1,500 active duty soldiers are on standby to deploy to MINNESOTA.
The soldiers are from the 11th Airborne Division, based at Joint Base Elmendorf--Richardson, one of the Army's premier infantry formations.
The division is also the military's leading formation for Arctic warfare
