Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops across the state, along with more than 2,000 state police.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is deploying Texas National Guard troops to San Antonio and other parts of the state ahead of planned immigration rallies.

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.

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

Gov. Abbott has released details of the National Guard and DPS deployment after Texas lawmakers demanded a briefing for the sake of coordination.

Saturday's No Kings protest is expected to draw thousands of people, said Kristi Pham of organizer 50501 Houston, which is calling for the event to remain peaceful, as they have in the past. Organizers also are collecting nonperishable food donations for several local food banks.
