HAPPENING NOW: MN National Guard members have arrived at the site of the federal building, and have been ordered to distribute donuts, coffee and hot chocolate to anti-ice protestors.
They were given reflective vests so protestors don’t confuse them with federal agents.

UNKNOWN if this is a commitment by the governor or the Guard to defend the city, or a PR move to gain favor. Watch this situation, time will tell.
