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

    We shouldn’t arrest Nazis. There are more effective ways to deal with them.

    Indeed, these agents should be treated as hostile combatants on American soil, and dealt with as such. State governments, do your job to protect citizens from a rogue terrorist federal government.

    I'm so happy I'm finally seeing more comments like this. Started to think I was alone.

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

    Uhg. We left a red state and moved here to avoid the political shit. Guess we get to witness ground zero of the next American civil war.

    The red states constantly send their own criminals to blue states and then call them crime ridden hell holes.

    The darkly hilarious part is that the red states that bus people to major cities in blue states still have way higher crime rates than blue states and blue cities. But facts don’t matter anymore, so the dogmatic right doesn’t give a shit and eats up the propaganda.

    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....

    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?
