NBC News Live Updates

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz activated the National Guard following a fatal shooting by DHS agents in Minneapolis this morning.

At an afternoon news conference, Walz said he would be "billing the federal government for the cost of the National Guard because they are incurring the costs that are falling on us."

2. Now what?

What is the end game here?

Monitor federal agents?
Arrest federal agents?
Creating a buffer zone for federal agents to conduct their immigration enforcement actions?
Arrest protesters?
Armed conflict with…?

4. I'd begin by surrounding the hotels where the ICEholes are staying and blocking their cars . . . .

5. Jam their phones & cut off supplies?

Seems to be the mo for other "conflicts."

7. 🤣🤣🤣

Blankets?

8. Let's say it is for "crowd control"

There are several groups, all with different training and different missions:

1) local police
2) state police
3) state national guard
4) "nationalized" national guard
5) ICE
6) regular military

Which of these groups is actually BEST trained for crowd control in a domestic setting?

I'd think local police. Are they there doing that?

All of those other groups seem like they would just escalate a bad situation.
