Sharjah24 -AFP: Donald Trump said Monday he was ready to invoke the Insurrection Act, which allows the US president to deploy federal troops to suppress a violent rebellion, as part of a growing crackdown on Democrat-run cities.

"We have an insurrection act for a reason. If I had to enact it I would do that," Trump told reporters in the Oval Office, as Democratic-led states Illinois and Oregon took legal action to block the Republican's deployment of the National Guard.

"If people were being killed and courts were holding us up or governors or mayors were holding us up, sure I would do that."
