Context: There has been unrest following the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, subsequent statewide protest actions (including a planned day of no work/no school/no shopping), and Trump’s public threats to use the Insurrection Act to address protests.
Resolution criteria:
YES if, on or before April 30, 2026, Donald Trump, formally invokes the Insurrection Act of 1807, as evidenced by:
an official presidential proclamation or executive order explicitly citing the Insurrection Act, and
confirmation by at least one major national news wire (AP or Reuters).
NO if no such formal invocation occurs by the resolution date.
Clarifications:
Public statements, threats, warnings, or expressions of intent do not count.
Deployment of the National Guard without invoking the Insurrection Act does not count.
Invocation for any domestic situation or location counts; it does not need to be tied to a specific state or protest.
