(AP) — Trump has floated invoking the Insurrection Act to tamp down unrest in Minnesota, but his No. 2 says that’s not necessary.

“Right now, we don’t think that we need that,” Vance said Thursday.

Through the years, Trump has repeatedly threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act, a rarely used federal law, to deploy the U.S. military or federalize the National Guard for domestic law enforcement, over the objections of state governors.

Earlier this month, Trump said it could be necessary to quell persistent protests against federal agents sent to Minneapolis to enforce his administration’s massive immigration crackdown.
