Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has activated the state’s National Guard soldiers ahead of a “No Kings” protest in San Antonio on Wednesday evening following days of protests and riots against federal immigration efforts in Los Angeles.

The third-term governor announced early Wednesday that state military forces had been sent to various locations across the state, getting into place in case they are needed to quell mass, and potentially fiery, demonstrations against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
