Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is deploying National Guard troops across his state ahead of expected protests against Immigration raids, seeking to prevent the violence that has swept Los Angeles in recent days.
Abbott announced in an early Wednesday X post that he will send the troops “to ensure peace and order” in the coming days. The governor had deployed them to San Antonio by Monday night to prepare for left-wing protests planned for Wednesday and Saturday, the San Antonio Express-News reported.
“The State of Texas stands ready to deploy all necessary personnel and resources to uphold law and order across our state,” a spokesperson for Abbott told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “Texas National Guard soldiers are on standby in areas where mass demonstrations are planned in case they are needed.”
