A book described in reporting claims that Vice President JD Vance urged President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act to respond to protests in Minneapolis. According to the account cited by outlets, Vance’s suggestion included sending U.S. troops to address the unrest. The reports also say White House officials were concerned that using the Insurrection Act and deploying federal forces could trigger significant political and public backlash. Both sources attribute the claims to the book’s account and indicate that the discussion took place at the White House during the period of protests in Minneapolis. The reports do not provide additional details about what specific actions were contemplated beyond the potential invocation of the Act and the deployment of troops, nor do they indicate that such measures were ultimately carried out. The information is presented as part of an external publication’s claims, rather than as an independently verified account of decisions made on record by the administration.
