Governor Tim Walz (D): "To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: You've done enough ... I've issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard. We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary."
We've been warning for weeks that the Trump Administration's dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to public safety.

The role of the MNARNG in the aftermath of the ICE invasion of Minnesota is unclear. The Minnesota National Guard has more than 13,000 personnel, including Citizen-Soldiers, Airmen, and civilian employees. The 34th Infantry Division falls under the MNARNG and is commanded by Major General Shawn P. Manke: MG Shawn P. Manke Bio
Investigating the homicide of Renee Nicole Good is the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA), a 533-employee agency overseen by MN AG Keith Ellison: MBCA
The malevolent Trumpf junta calculated the numbers to gain tactical numerical superiority over Minnesota law-enforcement by deploying 2,000 Brownshirts. Minneapolis City PD (~600), Saint Paul PD (~575), and the Minnesota State Patrol (~886) are outnumbered if any Mayor or Governor Tim Walz want to use them to monitor, shoo away, arrest, or deter ICE agents.
Do the people of Minnesota want to see more heavily-armed dangerous personnel on their streets?
