The White House has pushed back against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Democrats in the state after Walz told President Donald Trump to 'turn the temperature down' following a warning from the president that he could invoke the Insurrection Act. The White House criticized Walz's statement as 'inconsistent with the facts' and said it was 'unusual for a governor to publicly discuss federal law enforcement issues'. The move comes after Trump hinted at using the Insurrection Act, which allows the president to deploy military troops to quell civil unrest, in response to protests and demonstrations across the US. The White House's response suggests tensions between the Biden administration and Walz are escalating.
