Key Points:
- The Minnesota National Guard was mobilized on Saturday to support local law enforcement and emergency management amid "Operation Metro Surge," a DHS-led crackdown on criminal illegal aliens in Minnesota.
- DHS claims the operation successfully arrested dangerous individuals involved in theft, drug trafficking, and fraud, while criticizing Governor Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey for allegedly releasing nearly 470 criminal illegal aliens from custody.
- Governor Walz condemned the operation as politically motivated retribution by former President Trump, accusing it of endangering lives and wasting resources in a state that opposed him in elections.
- The National Guard is currently on standby and will not be deployed on Minneapolis streets but is prepared to assist in maintaining public safety and protecting peaceful protesters in the Twin Cities.
- Local law
