Overview

  • Gov. Tim Walz authorized National Guard staging to support local authorities, with troops prepared to protect property and critical infrastructure if needed.
  • Protests continued near ICE facilities, including clashes outside the Whipple Building where at least two people were arrested and chemical irritants were used.
  • The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is conducting the state’s investigation into the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.
  • DHS says Good “weaponized her vehicle” and called the incident an act of domestic terrorism, a characterization disputed by Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey.
  • Republican lawmakers urged President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act and arrest Walz, even as the governor urged peaceful demonstrations and said no further federal help was needed.
