Minnesota National Guard will enter Minneapolis if the Minneapolis PD makes a request for help... That is the impression I got from the article...

All FBI agents have been directed to report to Minneapolis. Does anyone know what the reason for that would be?

That seems to be their plan.

One phone call and the Minnesota guard is federalized. And if Trump thinks they are untrustworthy he can order them to stand down.

The DemonBRAT MinnieSomali knuckledraggers are wanting to start a war with the Federal Government starrubg The Tampon sucking fag Walz and his little butt boy Mr. Mayor, Jackass Frey. I say let’s give it a try. See how well the Minniesomalia NGs have paid attention to the friggin NASA Space Cadet Monkey, little Mark Kelly, and his girlfriend Elissa Slotkin.

Not exactly true. It is voluntary: https://fortune.com/2026/01/17/fbi-agents-voluntarily-travel-minneapolis-ice-raids-immigration/

>>”The Minneapolis PD is not helping ICE...so what good is this going to do?”

Maybe the plan is for Minneapolis PD to directly try to obstruct ICE, and the NG is being sent in to assist them in that effort. Walz couldn’t be that stupid, could he? But then again he can be a knucklehead at times, so who knows? That would be open rebellion and give Trump every legal justification to arrest him (and Frye) for sedition.

He'd better get it done quick.
The 11th Airborne division is ready to hit the ground, ultimately commanded by Trump himself.

If Walz assumes the DOJ will be coming after him for daycare fraud, he may very do such a thing.
