In an extraordinary scene, President Donald J. Trump  declared from the White House Rose Garden on June 1, 2020, that he will use the U.S. military in the interior of the United States to engage in actions against U.S. citizens. According to the President, he is acting in an effort to quell widespread civil unrest that has broken out throughout the country in reaction to the killing by a Minneapolis, Minnesota police officer of an unarmed black man during an attempt to arrest him.

The President also announced he will use "all available federal resources, civilian and military to stop the rioting and looting, to end the destruction and arson, and to protect the rights of law-abiding Americans, including your second amendment rights." 


While he did no specify any particular civilian resources he would mobilize in the effort, the Department of Homeland Security earlier in the day indicated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers were going to be deployed in an effort to help quell civil disorder around the country..
​If the President follows through on his threat, it would be the first time in the nation's history that federal troops would be used in this manner.

Moments before he spoke, the President had ordered the use of mounted police, flash bangs, rubber bullets, and tear gas to move peaceably assembled protesters from the area in front of the White House.  “We are ending the riots and lawlessness that has spread throughout our country,” Trump said as the sounds of flash bangs and the smell of tear gas he had ordered employed was audible and visible in the Rose Garden. “We will end it now,” he declared.
