Texas deploys National Guard in anticipation of protests

SUMMARY

Texas Governor Greg Abbott is deploying the Texas National Guard ahead of planned protests, particularly in San Antonio. This action is intended to "ensure peace and order" in response to recent unrest linked to protests in Los Angeles over immigration policies.

Abbott stated, "Texas will not tolerate the lawlessness we have seen in Los Angeles." He emphasized that while peaceful protests are acceptable, violence will lead to arrests. The deployment aims to support law enforcement in maintaining order during the anticipated demonstrations.
