To put it in perspective for my local folks, there's more NG troops in DC than there were ICE agents in all of Minnesota this winter and DC is about to same size as Minneapolis. The folks I follow in DC see armed soldiers barking at civilians literally everywhere.

I wish people who aren't from DC would drop this messaging line that the National Guard are all standing around doing nothing playing on their phones weeding our flower beds. The National Guard presence is not benign and each Guard member is complicit at this point.
