    Why, so you can preach “unity” and “looking forward, not backward” while you decline to prosecute?

    Call in the State National Guard or admit you’re part of the controlled opposition already.

      This is directly contradicted not just by the article but also by the headline.

      Just to remind you the headline was “Gov. Tim Walz encourages Minnesotans to film ICE agents for future prosecutions” emphasis added.

      The first part of the article says:

      Gov. Tim Walz encouraged Minnesota residents to carry their phones at all times to record federal immigration actions, promising during a statewide address on Wednesday night that “accountability is coming” for abuses by federal officers.

      Emphasis added again.

      The issue with calling in the National Guard… is that Trump could immediately federalize the National Guard. So then you’d have a bunch of ICE thugs with National Guard protecting them.

        Walz mobilized the National Guard yesterday, I think he sees this coming. If they are already under his order, and then Trump federalizes them, they’ll have to make choices.
