A protester who was blocking traffic and then fled the scene, nearly running over an ICE agent in Minneapolis was fatally shot by federal agents today.
And now Governor Walz is threatening to send in the National Guard:
This is simply a warning order, which means the Minnesota National Guard will make some preparations to activate.
From The Hill:
Minnesota National Guard Joint Staff Director Simon Schaefer said the state's guard consists of 13,000 soldiers and airmen and that the agency is 'always prepared to respond and support state agencies and the citizens of Minnesota.'
In response to the governor's warning order, Schaefer said the agency has begun preparations in the event the Guard is activated, including equipment checks and notifying service members.
