The Minnesota National Guard posted a photo on social media Saturday showing what its troops will be wearing if they are activated to "distinguish them[selves] from other agencies" as they remain on standby amid intensifying anti-ICE protests.

"Members of the Minnesota National Guard are on standby, ready to assist local law enforcement and public safety agencies. If our members are activated, they will be wearing reflective vests, as pictured here, to help distinguish them from other agencies in similar uniforms," the Minnesota National Guard wrote in the post.

The faces of the Guard members were blurred, and they wore bright yellow vests over their uniforms.
