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?

He needs to do it. ICE has tasted blood. They and Trump are disappointed the murder hasn't actually produced riots. ICE will try harder. There'll eventually be a breaking point and Trump will declares martial law.
The National Guard is needed to preserve the lives of citizens, ICE (who ARE going to get themselves killed eventually), and the Constitutional order.

Ms. Good was murdered.
I hope that the ICE goon responsible is indicted and sent to trial.
Let's let a jury decide if he was only protecting himself.

*** Minneapolis Closes Schools Because of Dangers Posed by ICE and US Border Patrol ***
"Minneapolis Public Schools will be closed Thursday and Friday "due to safety concerns related to today's incidents around the city." the district announced Wednesday night after a fatal ICE shooting earlier in the day in Minneapolis.
Armed US Border Patrol officers entered Minneapolis Roosevelt high school property during Wednesday's dismissal period.
All district programs, activities and athletics were also cancelled. The district won't move to e-learning, as that is only allowed in cases of severe weather.
The district said it will collaborate with the city on "emergency preparedness and response."

I see no per se reason why ICE wouldn't shoot up a school bus.

Oh good! For a minute there I was worried no Dem would be stupid enough to give Hair Furor cover for cancelling the next couple elections.

Agreed.
But will Pres Trump's DoJ even bring a case against him?

Governor Walz needs to deploy his national guard, in part to occupy them so that they cannot be commandeered by the Feds. If the guard is occupied in Brainard, well, then they cannot be on the streets of the Twin Cities, backing up hired gunslingers with badges...

That is a good idea. If Minnesota has the funds this plan might work: www.mprnews.org
Just think, 15 months ago Tim Walz was a potential VPOTUS; now he won't even seek re-election as governor.
What could have been in 2024.

I hate to write this but the Minnesota national guard need to be deployed to 'defend' the citizens of Minnesota from the federal government's fascist that are in their streets without any probable cause and without any local, county or state oversight. ICE and HS are breaking multiple laws harassing, assaulting with chemical agents and other weapons, shoving, pushing, kidnapping, arresting and intimidating local Americans and their legal resident immigrant neighbors just because they vote blue are hispanic or brown. I support immigration controls but not the way they are going about it. DUE PROCESS --------! How hard it that to understand. The FBI is ran by a ------- traitor suck ass for the orange POTUS so, we cannot count on his department being objective in anyway on this issue. If they were really "agents and officers" of the state as they claim they would not be hunting down migrants without warrants or due cause much less assaulting American citizens who do not wish to just stand around and watch them behave like Nazi brown shirts. All of what they are doing is illegal under the US constitution. I did not believe it at first but there are Jan 6th traitors; along with gang members for multiple 'militias' and proud boy types and other table of fascist criminal intent mixed within the federal government. This year, If you work for the federal government you have been taking online courses where their employees have to sign a waiver that gives them the federal government the right to transfer any employee out of his or her job classification and into another one whenever they wish. I see the feds doing this with the FBI, DEA, Home Land security and pushing them out on to the streets. All those high profile cases the FBI or DEA had going on are now put on permanent hold and they are out in the streets with those ICE bozos. I know why. The only want MAGA morons working for the government. This is a slow moving coup taking place and before the next election they will use any excuse they can to declare marital law and keep the blue states from voting in the large cities while the red states are not bothered. The irony of the American right's justification to invade Venezuela and kidnap Muduro was that his government was corrupt. The fact is that the main reason Venezuela was in the pits is because of the very same fascist style government but one that claimed their were leftists. They were no more communist running Venezuela than there are "patriots" running the US government.

Trump is prepared to invade Greenland, Venezuela and Cuba. Does any intelligent person doubt that he is also willing to militarily invade Minnesota?
