Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he’ll deploy the National Guard to locations across the state “to ensure peace and order,” ahead of a planned protest in San Antonio.
“Peaceful protest is legal. Harming a person or property is illegal & will lead to arrest. @TexasGuard will use every tool & strategy to help law enforcement maintain order,” he wrote on X late Tuesday evening local time.
A curfew was imposed in Los Angeles Tuesday night after days of unrest there following ICE raids last week, and solidarity protests have taken place across the country in the last two days, including Texas.
Spectrum News 1 reported that San Antonio held a peaceful demonstration downtown on Sunday. This demonstration followed the recent ICE arrests of immigrants who showed up for appearances in the San Antonio Immigration Court.
The city is bracing for more demonstrations on Wednesday. Mayor Ron Nirenberg and local police will hold a news conference today to discuss the city’s plan for the protests.
A “No Kings Day” protest decrying the Trump administration’s policies is planned for Saturday, Trump’s birthday, in downtown San Antonio. Several groups will organize it: the 50501 Movement, the Bexar County Democratic Party, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, and Indivisible and Women’s March. Similar “No Kings Day” protests are planned across the country.
