Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed National Guard troops across the state ahead of more anti-ICE protests.

Abbott announced the move early Wednesday in a post on X as protests sprang up in parts of Texas and across the U.S. this week.

“Texas National Guard will be deployed to locations across the state to ensure peace & order,” Abbott wrote in the post. “Peaceful protest is legal. Harming a person or property is illegal & will lead to arrest. @TexasGuard will use every tool & strategy to help law enforcement maintain order.”

It was unclear where exactly Abbott was deploying the National Guard. Fox News Digital reached out to the governor’s office for more details but did not immediately hear back.

In Dallas, hundreds of protesters gathered near the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge on Monday night. The situation was tense at times, with people throwing water bottles, fireworks and rocks at police officers, FOX4 Dallas reported. 

No officers were injured during the protest. Police arrested one individual, identified as 27-year-old Gerardo Velasquez Jr., who was charged with assault of a peace officer and attempt to take a weapon from an officer.

More protests were planned in Dallas and Austin for Saturday, while a demonstration was planned in San Antonio for Wednesday evening.
