Gov. Tim Walz: "Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you've done enough."

'Minnesota governor issues 'warning order' to prepare state's national guard following fatal shooting by ICE agent
At a press conference, Minnesota governor Tim Walz said that he’s “issued a warning order” to prepare the state’s national guard. “We have soldiers in training and prepared to be deployed if necessary,” he noted. “I remind you, a warning order is a heads up for folks”.

Walz added: “I have a very simple message, we do not need any further help from the federal government. Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough.”

may have picked a fight that they cannot win.

Of course they want disruption and chaos, thinking that they will come out on top. But Governor Walz doesn't have to walk on eggshells now that he has announced that he is not running for governor again.

80 people died.
That’s their acceptable number for collateral damage, for law and order
I have to wonder if that’s also an acceptable number of casualties, for stateside operations.
