MPD received no acknowledgement after sending their initial mission description and request for 600 troops Wed May 27 9:11p to the Commissioner for the Governor’s approval.

Whether Governor Walz saw any of their requests is not public record.

MPD repeatedly tried to meet the State’s unspecified criteria with elaborated mission descriptions.

‘The numbers of National Guard requested by MPD increased from the original request of 600 on Wed evening to almost 2000 National Guard requested by Fri May 29th.’
