US: BBG re-pushing a story from NBC, which notes that "President Donald Trump is
considering invoking a 213-year-old federal law that would allow him to deploy
active-duty U.S. troops to respond to protests in cities across the country,
according to four people familiar with the internal White House discussions.
Trump has warmed to the idea of using the Insurrection Act, adopted in 1807, to
deploy troops as his frustrations mount over the protests that have followed the
death of George Floyd, a black man who was killed in police custody last week in
Minneapolis."
