City of Austin Reiterates Importance of 'Peaceful and Safe Assembly' Ahead of Saturday Protest
- On Saturday, June 14, millions of Americans, including protesters in Texas, will participate in 'No Kings Day,' a national day of defiance coinciding with the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary and a military parade in Washington D.C.
- These protests follow increased Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids, notably an ICE operation in Los Angeles on June 6 that sparked escalated demonstrations and President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard there.
- Texas Governor Greg Abbott deployed over 5,000 National Guard soldiers and 2,000 Department of Public Safety troopers statewide to assist law enforcement and maintain order ahead of planned protests opposing these ICE actions.
- Abbott cautioned that individuals involved in violent behavior or property destruction during protests will face arrest and legal consequences, while 'No Kings' highlighted their dedication to peaceful protest against the policies of the Trump administration.
- The deployment and related federal actions raised concerns over coordination and legality, leading California Governor Newsom to accuse Trump of illegal federalization and file a lawsuit, highlighting tensions over federal-state authority.
