Gov. Tim Walz says he anticipates President Trump will send the National Guard to Minnesota.

Walz attended the North Star Summit for a panel with Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois to discuss state and federal leadership.

"I think it's logical for them to come here," said Walz. "We fall into exactly what they're trying to target, blue cities, in places that he wants to make an impact."

The moderator asked Walz whether he was preparing for a possible deployment.

"We're preparing for it. We're preparing to use the court. We're preparing to follow all the laws as they're written to challenge them on this," said Walz. "But I think it's really important for the citizens to see this is not normal."

Walz also said he began to think about the possibility of troops being sent to Minnesota months ago
