About 1,500 soldiers from the 11th Airborne Division in Fort Wainwright, Alaska, are on standby for possible deployment to Minneapolis, a US defence official told CBS News. These troops could be sent if the US president decides to use active military forces amid ongoing anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) demonstrations. No decision has been made so far. The demonstrations erupted after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Good, a US citizen, on January 7. Good was reportedly acting as a legal observer of ICE activities. City officials asked protesters to remain peaceful and orderly. The Minnesota National Guard has been mobilized and placed on alert by Governor Tim Walz. Additional law enforcement officers were also deployed in the city ahead of the protests. A federal judge, Katherine Menendez, has limited ICE agents' use of force against peaceful protests. She ruled that federal agents cannot arrest or pepper spray peaceful and unobstructive demonstrators, including those watching ICE activities. The death of Good sparked protests nationwide with many people holding signs saying "Justice for Renee." Despite this, the Trump administration called Good a "domestic terrorist." The protests and the military standby highlight tensions surrounding ICE enforcement and public response.
