President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act if the unrest in Los Angeles deteriorates, coming after he ordered troops to the city amid days of protests and riots against immigration enforcement measures. 

Among the most powerful tools a president has, the Insurrection Act authorizes the president to use the military to deal with rebellions or domestic violence inside the United States under certain circumstances. The act is an exception to the Posse Comitatus Act, which generally prohibits the U.S. military from partaking in domestic law enforcement measures. 

When asked whether he would invoke the act, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office: “If there’s an insurrection, I would certainly invoke it. We'll see.” 

He also said, “If we didn’t get involved, right now Los Angeles would be burning just like it was burning a number of months ago,” adding, “We are not playing around.”

Trump said that agitators in Los Angeles were breaking up pieces of concrete and throwing chunks at police, soldiers, and others during the riots, while some were seen dropping chunks of concrete from overpasses onto passing cars. Some of those individuals are in custody now, he said. 

When pressed on how he would determine whether an insurrection is taking place, the president said to “take a look at what’s happening,” adding that in some parts of Los Angeles, he could say that it could amount to an insurrection.
