Minnesota is grieving. But we’re resolved. The support we’ve received from across the country has energized us, and given us hope.
It’s time for the federal government to draw down their forces and let us get back to allowing freedom, opportunity, and security – for everyone.

In it they state people were told to get off the road. When they didn't they were sprayed with chemicals.
