What does Gov. Tim Walz contemplate doing with the Minnesota National Guard? [View all]

Walz gives order to prepare National Guard after ICE officer fatally shoots woman in Minneapolis

"I remind you, a warning order is a heads-up for folks, and these National Guard troops are our National Guard troops," Walz said.

My question is, for what are his National Guard troops being ordered to prepare? What does he have in mind?

There may be a quote where he's more specific but if so I missed it. If not then I suppose we can only speculate.
