This Day in Minnesota History

January 28, 1987

Creator:

Minnesota Governor Rudy Perpich files a lawsuit against the US Department of Defense arguing against the deployment of Minnesota National Guard troops for "training exercises" in Honduras during peacetime. On June 11, 1990, the US Supreme Court rules against Perpich and asserts the federal government's constitutional right to deploy state national guard troops without the governor's consent or the declaration of a national emergency.
