Gov. Greg Abbott is deploying Texas National Guard troops ahead of planned anti-Trump protests this weekend, but he won't say how many or where they are going - only that they are ready to provide the "most robust response where needed.

In response to the protests in his state, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has announced that he intends to deploy the National Guard across the state to “ensure peace and order” ahead of further planned demonstrations against the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.

Demonstrations against immigration raids began in Los Angeles last week and have spread across the country, including to Texas. More are planned this weekend.
