Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Thursday he would be deploying over 5,000 Texas National Guard members across the state in anticipation of Saturday’s protests, according to the Texas Tribune. Roughly 2,500 of those were diverted from Operation Lone Star border assignments, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

The "No Kings" day protests were planned before riots erupted in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids. Trump called in the California National Guard and a few days later ordered Marines to the city. California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit over the president’s move to deploy members of the Guard without Newsom’s authorization.

The organizer for a No Kings event planned for India Point Park on Saturday anticipates a crowd of 3,000 to 5,000 people.
