US EditionMinnesota Gov. Tim Walz mobilizes state National Guard amid ongoing protests
The Minnesota National Guard remains on standby to assist law enforcement in maintaining safety and protecting peaceful protesters after federal immigration enforcement sparked unrest.
- On Jan. 17, 2026, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz mobilized the Minnesota National Guard, with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety saying it is staging to support local law enforcement at `Gov. Walz's direction`.
- The mobilization follows daily protests after the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE agent and a DHS enforcement surge deploying more than 2,000 federal officers, with Walz staging the Guard on Jan. 9.
- The Minnesota National Guard said members would wear reflective vests if activated, while the Minnesota State Patrol, Department of Natural Resources, Metro Transit and University of Minnesota stand ready, supported by Minneapolis Police Department and Hennepin County sheriff's deputies monitoring two downtown protests.
- Officials said the Guard had not been deployed as of Saturday evening but remained ready to assist; the DOJ opened an investigation into Walz and Frey, and a federal judge restricted some ICE actions.
- Walz criticized the crackdown earlier in the week as Trump threatened Jan. 15 to invoke the Insurrection Act, while DHS labels the operation 'Operation Metro Surge'.
