AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Thursday he has ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops, along with more than 2,000 state police, to help local law enforcement manage protests against President Donald Trump and the ongoing federal immigration raids.
Many residents without legal status are staying away from anti-ICE protests because they don't feel safe. More demonstrations are planned for the weekend.
A breakdown of who was charged with what and why wasn't immediately available, but the protest and related marches shut down streets throughout the day and into Saturday night.
Protesters gathered in Atlanta and West Palm Beach, Florida, on June 14 ahead of President Donald Trump's military parade in Washington.
