Governor,

You have the Minnesota National Guard troops. Deploy them. Arrest the ICE agents. Enforce the laws and defend your people against Trump's Terrorists.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
