They're sowing chaos on our streets.

And in this case, quite literally killing people.

I want Minnesotans to hear this from me.

I...

The desire to get out and protest and to speak up to this administration of how wrong this is, that is a patriotic duty at this point in time.

My primary responsibility as governor is the protection of the people of Minnesota.

And you can be assured, whether it's the State Patrol or whether it's the National Guard, their deployment is there to protect Minnesotans from whatever it is.

If it's an act of nature, if it's a global pandemic, or in this case, if it is a rogue federal agent.

Minnesotans don't take the bait.

Do not take the bait.

Do not allow them to deploy federal troops into here.

Do not allow them to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Do not allow them to declare martial law.

Do not allow them to lie about the security and the decency of this state.

And let's let this investigation play itself out.

To Americans who are watching this, if you're in Portland or you're in L.A.

or you're in Chicago or you're wherever they're coming next, stand with us.

Stand with us against this.

Pretty good, right?

I am increasingly concerned because of the chaos that is being caused by these ICE agents that somebody is going to get seriously injured or killed.
