Gov. Tim Walz has put the Minnesota National Guard on standby following an immigration agent’s fatal shooting of a woman in Minneapolis Wednesday.
Various state and local law enforcement agencies and the state’s National Guard were alerted shortly after the shooting that they may be called upon to respond to protests in the area, Walz said during a press conference. He also urged Minnesotans to remain peaceful while criticizing the Trump administration’s rhetoric.
“We do not need any further help from the federal government,” he said. “To Donald Trump and Kristi Noem: You‘ve done enough.”
