This is weird, because when they first reported it, it sounded like he was going to use it for crowd control if it were to get to a potential "Minneapolis burning"...
from yesterday...
Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz on Thursday authorized the Minnesota National Guard to be staged and ready to support local and state law enforcement in protecting critical infrastructure and maintaining public safety after the fatal shooting of Renee Nicole Good, 37, by an ICE agent in south Minneapolis.
Soldiers will serve in a support role, focused on protecting property, safeguarding critical infrastructure and allowing local law enforcement to remain focused on community safety and investigative responsibilities, according to a news release from the governor's office.
During a news conference Wednesday, Walz said, "We've never been at war with our federal government," raising concerns he would use the National Guard to push back on federal immigration enforcement action in the state.
"We do not need any further help from the federal government. To [President]
Donald Trump and Kristi Noem, you’ve done enough. I’ve issued a warning order to prepare the Minnesota National Guard," Walz said.

either he's walking back or some is misreading what's being stated...
