Greg Abbott deploys National Guard across Texas to quell unrest
Source: Newsweek
Texas Governor Greg Abbott has announced the Texas National Guard will be deployed across the state to enforce "peace and order" ahead of expected protests.
"Peaceful protest is legal," Abbott wrote in a post on X. "Harming a person or property is illegal & will lead to arrest."
Why It Matters
Mass protests are erupting across the United States in response to President Donald Trump's crackdown on immigration. The White House has said anyone living in the country illegally is a "criminal." The administration is facing increasing resistance over its mass deportation policy.
Protests broke out on Friday in reaction to numerous ICE raids throughout Los Angeles. Amid the ongoing tumult, city officials, including Mayor Karen Bass , implemented a curfew for portions of downtown, from 8 p.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday, and it could continue throughout the coming days if warranted.

After that, it's total control and absolute submission to Trump. Or die.
