Having been “pre-delegated” authority, Commissioner Harrington did not require Governor Walz’ Executive Order to activate State Forces (e.g. 100 State Patrol and 200 National Guard, as he did by call and text.)

• Neither Executive Order 20-01 or 19-22 overrode State Statute 12 Subd 2B“Nothing … limits the governor’s authority over or command of the National Guard”
