Oct. 7, 2025, 5:17 PM EDTBy Gary Grumbach and Dareh GregorianPresident Donald Trump suggested numerous times this week that he could invoke the sweeping presidential powers granted by the Insurrection Act “if necessary.””It’s been invoked before,” Trump told reporters Tuesday, adding, “We want safe cities.”Using the Insurrection Act was something Trump repeatedly suggested he might do in his first term, although he never actually did.A spokeswoman for the White House, Abigail Jackson, said in a statement Tuesday that the president has “exercised his lawful authority to protect federal officers and assets. President Trump will not turn a blind eye to the lawlessness plaguing American cities.”Here’s a look at what the Insurrection Act is, and what it would enable the president to do.What is the Insurrection Act?While the military is generally barred from being deployed for domestic law enforcement without congressional authorization, the Insurrection Act gives the president power to deploy the U.S. military domestically and to federalize National Guard troops during specific circumstances.It was signed into law by President Thomas Jefferson in March 1807.Has it ever been used before?Many times, but not in decades.George Washington used an earlier version of the law to stamp out the Whiskey Rebellion in 1792.President George H.W. Bush was the last to use it during the deadly 1992 Los Angeles riots, following a request from the city’s Democratic mayor and the state’s Republican governor.What can trigger the use of the Insurrection Act?While one justification for invoking the act is clear — that the president can take action if asked to do so by a governor or a Legislature — the other standards mentioned in the statute are broad and vague, giving the president wide latitude.“Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion,” the statute reads.Another section says the president, “by using the militia or the armed forces, or both,” shall “take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” if it “hinders the execution of the laws of that State, and of the United States within the State,” or if it “opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.”The statutes don’t define the terms, essentially leaving it up to the president to determine what constitutes an insurrection or rebellion, and when it’s been quelled.A 2022 review from the Brennan Center, a progressive policy group, called that provision “so bafflingly broad that it cannot possibly mean what it says, or else it authorizes the president to use the military against any two people conspiring to break federal law.”How does Trump define insurrection?The president — who was impeached on a charge of inciting insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021 — has indicated he has a low bar for what he considers insurrection, but has also said he doesn’t believe the criteria to use the act have been met.Trump mentioned the word insurrection — which the Encyclopaedia Britannica defines as “an organized and usually violent act of revolt or rebellion against an established government or governing authority” — five times on Monday.”Portland is on fire. Portland’s been on fire for years. And not so much saving it — we have to save something else, because I think that‘s all insurrection, really criminal insurrection,” Trump said at one point in the Oval Office on Monday. He told Newsmax later in the day that the situation in Portland was “pure insurrection.”Earlier in the day, he said he’d invoke the act “if it was necessary. So far it hasn’t been necessary but we have an Insurrection Act for a reason. If I had to enact it, I’d do that. If people were being killed and courts were holding us up, or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure I’d do that. I want to make sure that people aren’t killed.”Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, he broadened his definition, saying “these Democrats are like insurrectionists” because they opposed his “big beautiful bill.”How would using the Insurrection Act be different from what Trump is already doing?The Insurrection Act gives the military more freedom to perform law enforcement duties, such as conducting searches and making arrests.When Trump deployed the National Guard and the Marines in Los Angeles amid protests over his immigration policies, they were publicly assigned a more limited role, focused on protecting federal buildings and activities.A federal judge in California last month found they actually did more than that, and violated the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits the president from using the military as a domestic police force without approval from Congress or under special circumstances — such as an invocation of the Insurrection Act.“The evidence at trial established that Defendants systematically used armed soldiers (whose identity was often obscured by protective armor) and military vehicles to set up protective perimeters and traffic blockades, engage in crowd control, and otherwise demonstrate a military presence in and around Los Angeles,” U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer wrote in his ruling.“In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act,” he said.The administration is appealing the ruling and an appeals court has put the ruling on hold while the case proceeds.Gary GrumbachGary Grumbach is an NBC News legal affairs reporter, based in Washington, D.C.Dareh GregorianDareh Gregorian is a politics reporter for NBC News.Tara Prindiville contributed.

The Chiefs still hardly resemble the team that has reached at least the AFC Championship game every year since 2018 — and their once potent offense remains disjointed at best.Entering Week 3 with a 0-2 record, Kansas City desperately needed a win in any fashion it could get one on Sunday. For a team with a legendary quarterback and Super Bowl aspirations, however, the ugliness of the Chiefs’ offensive slog against the Giants left a lot to be desired moving forward.“Good win to get, in particular when you haven’t had one,” head coach Andy Reid said after. Patrick Mahomes throws as New York Giants outside linebacker Kayvon Thibodeaux chases him on Sunday.Seth Wenig / APQuarterback Patrick Mahomes finished the game 22-of-37 for 224 yards and one touchdown, with an 85.9 passer rating. He has yet to break a passer rating of 90.0 so far this season, despite boasting a career mark of 101.8 before Sunday.And his so-so game didn’t necessarily come against a great defense — Mahomes’s passing total and 6.1 yards per attempt were both the lowest for any quarterback who has played New York this year. Overall, through three games, Mahomes’s passer rating, yards per attempt and completion percentage would all be career lows if they carried through for the rest of the season.“I feel like we were moving the ball the right way,” Mahomes said postgame. “We have to clean stuff up and get better and better.”He added: “For us, just executing all the way throughout a drive and seeing that, that’s what we want to be. We have to continue to do that more often.”To be fair, Mahomes’s receiving corps still leaves a lot to be desired, even if Tyquan Thornton had some nice moments in the second half against the New York. Kansas City still doesn’t have a player with over 100 yards receiving in a single game yet so far this year. Travis Kelce, once one of the league’s most feared tight ends, has 10 catches for 134 yards through three games. He is on pace for 759 yards receiving this season, which would be the lowest mark of his career, one year after he set a new career low in 2024. (And that’s with the recent benefit of a 17th regular-season game.)Perhaps in an attempt to fire him up, Reid was caught in a heated conversation with Kelce late in the second quarter, with him and the tight end bumping chests.“He’s a passionate guy and I love that part,” Reid said of the exchange. “I’ve been through a lot of things with him, that’s all part of it. I love that he loves to play the game.”The offense wasn’t alone in its struggles, as the Chiefs’ miscues extended to the whole team.Harrison Butker missed multiple kicks, including a field goal and an extra point.Kansas City committed eight penalties for 85 yards, including multiple on a first-half drive that led to a Giants touchdown. It wasn’t exactly a sterling effort from the Chiefs, who were bailed out in large part due to two Russell Wilson interceptions — as well as a bizarre decision by Wilson to seemingly throw away the ball on a late 4th-and-goal.“We’ve been searching for one win and try to figure out how we can get this thing going,” linebacker Nick Bolton said. “The main thing now is just keep working, keep stacking and try to get another, then get another win.”For now, Kansas City is certainly happy to come away with a victory. But it’s hard to imagine the team rising to the top of the AFC with more performances like Sunday’s.Only two of the Chiefs’ next eight opponents have a record under .500, and both of those contests will be against divisional rivals. Meanwhile, over the next two months, Kansas City will have to play the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions, Buffalo Bills, Washington Commanders and the currently undefeated Indianapolis Colts, all of whom have been much more impressive early in the season. Ultimately, the Chiefs took care of business against a lesser foe on Sunday. If Kansas City continues on its current trajectory, however, it still doesn’t look like the kind of team that could live up to its past success.
