ICE Shooting Triggers State Emergency Response

An ICE agent fatally shot 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis during a Wednesday operation, with federal officials claiming she attempted to ram agents with her SUV. The incident immediately sparked community outrage and protests across the Twin Cities area. Governor Walz condemned the federal operation and activated the State Emergency Operations Center, mobilizing 85 Minnesota State Patrol Mobile Response Team members and issuing a warning order to prepare the National Guard for deployment.

Walz declared Minnesota did not need additional federal assistance, stating the ICE operation was “about putting on a show” that unnecessarily endangered residents. The governor positioned the Guard in a support role to protect critical infrastructure and property, allowing local law enforcement to focus on community safety and ongoing investigations.

Congressional Republicans Demand Federal Intervention

Multiple Republican House members characterized Walz’s National Guard warning as tantamount to insurrection against federal authority. Representative Mary Miller posted “Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz” on social media, while Representative Rich McCormick accused the governor of bringing “military force to oppose a federal armed force.” Representative Derrick Van Orden compared Walz’s stance to Fort Sumter, claiming it amounted to a call for “civil war” against the federal government.

Representative Nancy Mace echoed calls for Trump to use the Insurrection Act, emphasizing federal supremacy over state resistance to immigration enforcement. These lawmakers argue Walz’s threat to deploy state military assets against federal operations crosses constitutional boundaries and warrants presidential intervention under emergency powers designed to suppress domestic insurrection.

Constitutional Crisis Brewing Over Federal Authority

The standoff represents a dangerous escalation in state-federal tensions over immigration enforcement under the Trump administration. While Walz maintains legal authority to deploy the National Guard for state defense and law enforcement support, his explicit rejection of federal assistance creates unprecedented constitutional questions. The governor’s actions directly challenge federal supremacy in immigration matters, potentially setting up the first major test of the Insurrection Act under Trump’s second presidency.

This confrontation undermines the rule of law and federal authority at a time when secure borders and immigration enforcement are critical national priorities. Walz’s defiance emboldens other Democrat governors to resist legitimate federal operations, creating a patchwork of state sanctuary policies that threaten national security and constitutional order. The situation demands swift federal action to restore proper constitutional balance between state and federal authority.
