People in San Antonio planned a demonstration on Saturday to condemn President Trump’s military parade in Washington D.C., which is meant in part to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The “No-Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” protest is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Travis Park.

Sheriff Salazar, who last summer criticized Donald Trump on the DNC stage, shared a message for those planning to protest ICE in Bexar County.

City leaders are addressing concerns after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the National Guard to San Antonio ahead of the "No Kings Day" protest scheduled for this weekend. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said the city received no "advance warning" of the National Guard from Abbott.

Americans have a right to assemble and a right to petition for the redress of grievances. They will use those rights this weekend to resist Trumpism.

Mayor Ron Nirenberg said San Antonio did not request, nor receive notice of, the Texas National Guard being here ahead of protests planned on Saturday against the Trump administration. Why it matters: Gov.

The mayor and the police chief said the governor did not notify them of the military deployment. They also have no details about the soldiers’ mission. They said the city is prepared to oversee peaceful demonstrations at the Alamo tonight and at Travis Park on Saturday.

With No Kings protests planned Saturday in the Houston area, local organizers are calling for peaceful rallies, while officials like Mayor John Whitmire say they are working with organizers "to ensure that First Amendment rights are respected while maintaining public safety.
