Republicans Urge Insurrection Act After Walz Puts Minnesota Guard on Standby Over ICE Shooting

The clash follows a fatal ICE operation in Minneapolis that state leaders say warrants an independent investigation.

Overview

  • Gov. Tim Walz issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard, and a Guard spokesperson said preparations are underway with no request for active support yet.
  • A federal immigration agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in south Minneapolis during an enforcement action, and video appears to show her SUV striking an agent before he fired.
  • DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the driver weaponized her vehicle and called the incident domestic terrorism, a characterization Minnesota officials publicly dispute.
  • The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension has opened an investigation, and protests continued near East 34th Street and Portland Avenue.
  • Republican lawmakers including Reps. Mary Miller and Nancy Mace urged President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and arrest Walz following his comments about potential Guard deployment.
