WASHINGTON (TNND) — Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller says local police in Minneapolis were given orders to “stand down and surrender” as anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) protests continue in Minnesota.

“Only federal officers are upholding the law,” Miller wrote on X Sunday evening. “Local and state police have been ordered to stand down and surrender.”

Anti-ICE protests have been taking place all over Minnesota after ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renee Good earlier this month.

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security said that Ross shot Good because she attempted to run him over with her car.

Protests continue throughout Minneapolis even though Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said more agents would be sent to the area.

As the protests continue, President Donald Trump threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act.

"If the corrupt politicians of Minnesota don’t obey the law and stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists from attacking the Patriots of I.C.E., who are only trying to do their job, I will institute the INSURRECTION ACT, which many Presidents have done before me, and quickly put an end to the travesty that is taking place in that once great State," Trump wrote on Truth Social last week.

The Insurrection Act allows the president to deploy the U.S. military without the approval of Congress.
