Active-duty army soldiers on standby to deploy to Minneapolis

Around 1,500 active-duty Army paratroopers from the 11th Airborne Division are on alert for possible deployment to Minnesota. This decision comes as tensions rise in Minneapolis after shootings involving federal officers.

The president has not finalized the deployment of two battalions, and the White House has not commented.

An official stated, "We are taking prudent steps to prepare active-duty Army forces... This doesn't mean they will deploy."

Minnesota National Guard members are under state orders, complicating the potential simultaneous deployment of federal troops.

President Trump considered invoking the Insurrection Act but later indicated no immediate need to do so.
