Governor to Deploy National Guard in Texas Protests

Article Rewrite:

Hey there! In Texas, ol' Governor Greg Abbott's dropped a bombshell—he's deploying the National Guard in several hot spots. He made the announcement via X, the digital platform of choice. Protests against President Donald Trump's immigration policies have been popping up like whack-a-moles, spreading from LA to cities nationwide.

According to the San Antonio Express-News, soldiers are geared up and standby, ready to roll at a moment's notice in anticipation of planned protests in San Antonio. Abbott's been mighty tight-lipped about the details of the deployment. Seems like folks in San Antonio plan to hit the streets this Wednesday and Saturday.

In LA, the furor against Trump's hardline immigration stance and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids has been fierce. The U.S. government'sresponse? Mobilizing an impressive 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marine infantry personnel—all destined for deployment in LA. California Governor Gavin Newsom ain't too thrilled about it. These troops are trickling in in phases and, if reports are true, they're expected to stick around until the heat dies down, with a scheduled deployment period of up to 60 days.

Trump's decision to send troops to LA against the wishes of the local governor? That's a pretty beefy power play and has seen its fair share of controversy. Meanwhile, in Texas, Abbott's taken it upon himself to unleash the National Guard—but specifics on the deployment? Slim to none, according to the available info.

Now, in California, tensions and protests have been brewing due to ICE operations and political squabbles, which may involve law enforcement and potential National Guard action. Notable protests include the one near the Metropolitan Detention Center following an ICE raid on June 6, 2025[1]. While there's no specific mention of National Guard deployments in response to these protests in the search results, it's not unusual for the National Guard to support law enforcement during civil unrest or emergencies.

As for Texas, there's no specific info on recent National Guard deployments in response to protests in the provided search results. Generally, the National Guard is put to work to keep public order and support local authorities during significant events or unrest. Be sure to get the latest news and facts from official sources to stay in the loop.
