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 deployment.
- Federal moves to deploy National Guard troops across cities follow previous actions in Los Angeles, Portland, Memphis, and Washington, D.C., amid increased immigration enforcement, Walz said.
- Criticizing the federal response, 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, showing his concerns about federal support.
- Legal challenges followed, with Illinois and Chicago filing suit in federal court to block National Guard deployment, while Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker called the patrols an "unconstitutional invasion".
- Governors Tim Walz and J.B. Pritzker expressed fears that the Trump administration may use troops to target 'blue cities' and suppress Democratic voters next year.
