Trump threatens use of Insurrection Act to deploy National Guard troops domestically

President Donald Trump suggested he might invoke the Insurrection Act to send federal troops to cities like Portland and Chicago. The centuries-old law, first passed in 1792 and last updated in 1871, allows the president to deploy military forces domestically in limited circumstances, even without a state’s consent. #CNN #News
