Defend the Guard Act established.

This bill restricts the deployment of Minnesota National Guard members into active duty combat without specific federal authorization. It prohibits sending the Guard into active duty combat unless the U.S. Congress has passed an official declaration of war or taken action under the Constitution (Article I, Section 8, Clause 15) to call the Guard to "execute the laws of the union, repel an invasion, or suppress an insurrection." The law directly affects the Minnesota National Guard and its members by requiring the governor to prevent such deployments without these specific federal actions. The bill does not restrict deployments under Title 32 of the U.S. Code for domestic civil support missions within the U.S. or its territories.
