BREAKING: Pentagon Orders 1,500 Soldiers to Standby Amid Minnesota Protests | DRM News | AC1Z

The Pentagon has ordered about 1,500 active-duty U.S. soldiers to prepare for a potential deployment to Minnesota amid widespread protests over the government’s deportation operations.

The troops, part of two infantry battalions under the 11th Airborne Division based in Alaska, are on standby, though it is unclear if they will be sent.

Tensions have escalated following the shooting of Renee Good by an ICE agent on January 7, with protesters confronting federal agents in Minneapolis. President Donald Trump has warned he may invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy the military to restore order.

Authorities have not yet confirmed any deployment, and the situation remains closely monitored as protests continue.
