      Can they be instructed to resist ICE presence

      Yes.

      Keep in mind, the only alternative to the Minnesota state government resisting the feds directly is armed, citizen militias, which will be way the fuck more bloody. ICE can possibly be intimidated by the national guard, but especially against citizens, they’re not going to just tip their hat and leave.

      It would be a coup at that point. The national guard is commanded by the Governor of the state, but the President can also legally override the governor and take control.
