Taylor Swift Warn Donald Trump to Reconsider Threatening National Guard Deployment and Invoking the Insurrection Act in Minnesota, Says it could lead to War, Saying There Are Far Better Ways to Address the Escalating ICE-Related Protests
Taylor Swift Urges President Trump to Avoid Military Escalation as Minnesota ICE Protests Intensify
Minneapolis, MN — Pop superstar Taylor Swift has publicly weighed in on the escalating protests against ICE operations in Minnesota, urging President Donald Trump to reconsider any use of military force, including the deployment of the National Guard or invoking the Insurrection Act.

The protests, which began as demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement, have intensified over the past week following reports of clashes between federal agents and demonstrators. Some incidents have resulted in injuries, raising concerns over further escalation. In response, the Trump administration has reportedly signaled the possibility of deploying the National Guard to restore order, prompting national debate over the use of military force in civil matters.
In a statement released on social media, Swift emphasized that while public safety is critical, there are more effective and humane ways to address civil unrest than invoking extreme measures. “Violence and intimidation are not solutions,” Swift wrote. “We need dialogue, understanding, and leadership that prioritizes human life and safety over fear and force.”
Political analysts note that while celebrities rarely intervene in such politically sensitive situations, Swift’s voice carries significant influence over public opinion, especially among younger Americans. Her message arrives at a tense moment, as lawmakers, law enforcement officials, and activists seek strategies to de-escalate the situation without resorting to military action.
Legal experts say that invoking the Insurrection Act would be a highly unusual step, typically reserved for extreme cases where state authorities are unable to maintain order. Critics argue that using it against civilian protesters could set a dangerous precedent and inflame tensions further.
For now, Minnesota remains on high alert, with community leaders and organizations calling for calm and constructive dialogue. Swift’s intervention has added to growing calls for measured responses, highlighting the delicate balance between law enforcement and protecting citizens’ rights to protest.
As the situation develops, many are watching to see whether the Trump administration will heed warnings from public figures and political leaders or proceed with aggressive measures that could have lasting social and political consequences.
