Gov. Walz Anticipates Pres. Trump Could Deploy National Guard to Minnesota
Governor Walz prepares for National Guard deployment to Minnesota amid federal efforts targeting crime and immigration in multiple U.S. cities, including recent troop arrivals in Texas.
- On October 7, 2025, Governor Tim Walz said he anticipates President Donald Trump will send National Guard troops to Minnesota as his administration braces for the inevitability.
- President Donald Trump has ordered National Guard deployments to cities, including Los Angeles, Portland, Memphis and Washington, D.C., in a move to reduce crime and boost immigration enforcement.
- Criticizing the federal government, Walz said `You do your job, and we'll do ours. And the fact of the matter is we're doing ours. I don't have to remind you; the government is shut down,` months ago, highlighting his frustration during the shutdown.
