“Yesterday, I directed the #NationalGuard to be ready should they be needed,” Walz said in a statement. “They remain ready in the event they are needed to help keep the peace, ensure public safety, & allow for #peaceful #demonstrations.”

He also thanked Minnesotans as they have “met this moment,” adding “we have every reason to believe that peace will hold.”

Similar #BorderPatrol teams have been previously deployed to various “civil unrest” incidents, including Portland in 2020.

To be clear, this #protest has been 100% #peaceful on the side of the protesters. Only the #federal “agents” have used force.

#BorderPatrol agents seen at a #protest near #Minneapolis, #Minnesota, appear to be a mix of the agency’s special response team and its Border Patrol Tactical Unit, also known as #BORTAC.

BORTAC agents are *generally* “trained” in crowd control & crowd dispersion, as well as other tactics to protect property. #PepperSpray & #TearGas canisters are among tools agents have used for crowd control.

Dudes… watch the video… there WAS NO ATTACK!!!!

Several national #Republicans shared statements of support for #ICE after the #shooting. “Attacks on our law enforcement cannot be tolerated,” said [ #JanSixer] Rep #BarryLoudermilk of #Georgia.

Rep #AndyOgles of #Tennessee wrote that “if you put an ICE agent in mortal danger, self-defense is JUSTIFIED.”

Local & state officials [& anyone with eyeballs] have disputed federal accounts of the shooting & whether the agents were in any danger.

Gov #TimWalz of #Minnesota is speaking
alongside other state ofcls about the #shooting. “We have been warning for weeks that the #Trump administration’s dangerous, sensationalized operations are a threat to our #PublicSafety,” he said, adding that today it cost a person her life.

Walz said “I feel your anger.” He called for any #protests to be #peaceful. “They want a show,” he said. “We can’t give it to them.”
