Summary

After the January 7th shooting during an ICE operation, Minneapolis erupted. Should Trump invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy federal troops to restore order? Should federal prosecutors target the organized groups facilitating the obstruction? Jeff and Ness examine the history of the Insurrection Act and Posse Comitatus, and two 20th Century cases where federal troops were deployed to overcome state resistance. They also discuss the role of Christianity in the MAGA movement.
