The Minnesota National Guard distributed coffee and donuts to anti-ICE protesters in St. Paul as a "demonstration of safety and security."
The guardsmen wore reflective vests to distinguish themselves from other agencies in similar uniforms if deployed to the Twin Cities.
Federal officials initially claimed that Alex J. Pretti approached agents with a handgun and resisted disarmament, but bystander video and eyewitness accounts raised questions about the events leading to his shooting.
Democratic officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Mayor Jacob Frey, supported anti-ICE protesters after the shooting of Renee Nicole Good, prompting a federal probe for alleged impeding of law enforcement efforts.
Walz called for President Donald Trump to remove "his 3,000 untrained agents" from Minnesota to prevent further civilian deaths, following Pretti's death, which Trump confirmed is under review by his administration.
