Minnesota is spiraling.

ICE agents are being blocked. Police are standing down. Local leaders refuse to enforce federal law.

So what happens when a state won’t protect its own citizens?

Attorney and policy expert Mehek Cooke joins Joe Pags to break down the one tool the President can legally use right now: the Insurrection Act.

Can the President send in federal troops without Congress?
When does federal authority override the states?
And has Minnesota already crossed that line?

This is a straight talk, no-spin look at what the law actually allows — and why waiting could make things worse.

If you want the facts, not the politics, this one’s for you.
