    The Minnesota National Guard is under state jurisdiction and can be used by the governor to assist the state during disasters and other state emergencies. In times of war, Minnesota National Guard Soldiers and Airmen can be called into federal active service with the president of the United States as commander in chief.

    So what would stop Trump from declaring it’s a “time of war,” so he’s now in command and the National Guard have to assist ICE?

    Will the Minnesota guard stand with Minneapolis by arresting every single ICE agent in their jurisdiction for conspiracy to commit murder?

      It’s insane. Red states make it hell to live there so no sane person would ever move there making it deeper red.

        Yeah my previous state is so far gone that it is beyond salvage in my lifetime. I tried but it’s not something an individual like myself could change. So we gave up and moved to greener pastures where the state functions well. MN has amazing metrics - they’re ranked in the top 5 for just about everything except public land. It’s great up here. Or at least it was until this last week…

    Activate the state guard, not the national guard. Prepare for fuckery from the federal government when you use the national guard.
