Vance: Trump “Looking at All His Options” Amidst Insurrection Act Threat
During an interview on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Vice President Vance stated that President Trump is considering all options regarding the Insurrection Act, potentially deploying the U.S. military domestically for law enforcement purposes. This comes amid discussions of federalizing National Guard troops in cities like Portland and Chicago, moves that have faced legal challenges. While Vance mentioned the president has not felt the need to invoke the Insurrection Act, he cited attacks on law enforcement as the issue and accused the media of accepting this. The administration’s attempts to deploy National Guard troops have been met with legal blocks, with appeals courts weighing in on the matter.
