**JUST IN: Pop Star Rumored to Urge Trump to Reconsider Escalation in Minnesota Unrest — No Official Statement Confirmed**

Amid one of the most intense episodes of civil unrest in recent U.S. history, scenes in Minnesota have remained tense following multiple shootings by federal immigration agents and widespread protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In the past three weeks, immigration enforcement operations known as *Operation Metro Surge* — involving thousands of ICE and Customs and Border Protection officers — have drawn outrage after at least two U.S. citizens, including ICU nurse Alex Pretti, were fatally shot by federal officers during confrontations in Minneapolis. The incidents have sparked large-scale protests and a statewide general strike on January 23, 2026, with tens of thousands participating and calling for the withdrawal of federal agents.

President Donald Trump has responded to the unrest by publicly warning that he could invoke the **Insurrection Act of 1807** — a rarely used federal statute that would allow the deployment of active-duty military and federalized National Guard forces to suppress what his administration describes as violent resistance and protect federal officers.

On social media, Trump wrote that he might use the law if Minnesota officials failed to “stop the professional agitators and insurrectionists attacking the Patriots of ICE,” an assertion that critics have found inflammatory given that many protesters are exercising their constitutional rights

State and local leaders, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Minneapolis officials, have condemned the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act, warning that a federal troop deployment could worsen tensions and threaten civil liberties.

In this highly charged atmosphere online, *unverified claims have circulated* that global pop star Taylor Swift publicly admonished Trump to reconsider any move toward National Guard deployment or invoking the Insurrection Act, warning that such escalation “could lead to war” and urging nonviolent alternatives. *There is currently no credible confirmation from Swift’s official channels, verified social accounts, or major news outlets that she has issued such a statement in this context.* What *is* established is Swift’s political profile: in the past, she has broken her silence on national politics and criticized Trump’s rhetoric, particularly during the 2020 Minneapolis protests following the George Floyd killing, when she sharply rebuked then-President Trump for threatening violent crackdowns on demonstrators.

Celebrities and public figures have increasingly weighed in on the Minnesota crisis overall. Singer Katy Perry, actor Pedro Pascal and Billie Eilish have urged civic engagement and accountability, while athletes and activists have shown solidarity with demonstrators calling for reform of immigration enforcement practices.

As protests continue and political tensions run high, Minnesota remains a focal point for a broader national debate over federal authority, civil rights and the balance between law enforcement and peaceful protest.
