Gov. Tim Walz has "mobilized" the Minnesota National Guard as protests continue to roil the state. Officials said troops have not been deployed but are on standby.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was vetted by former Attorney General Eric Holder as then-Vice President Kamala Harris' 2024 running mate before fraud scandal came to light.
U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Walz "neither understands how the law works, nor what it means to be 'nonpartisan.'"
Gov. Tim Walz changed the state flag of Minnesota to closely resemble the national flag of Somalia. Minnesota is home to the largest number of Somali Americans in the country, but any similarities between the new flag and the Somali flag are pure coincidence.
