Texas calls National Guard: Protest scenario escalated!
The US state of Texas has announced the use of the national guard to ensure order during the continuing protests against President Donald Trump's migration policy. Governor Greg Abbott announced this decision on Tuesday evening via online service X. The step takes place in response to the growing protest campaigns that take place in different cities of Texas.
Abbott expressed that peaceful protests were completely legal, but the violation of people or property could be illegally punished. The national guard is to be used in places where mass demonstrations are planned. This is done in close cooperation with the police authorities to guarantee the security of the citizens and prevent violent clashes.
National Guard in Readiness
The national guard is kept on standby in the affected areas. In this context, the police chief of San Antonio, William McManus, has already contacted state authorities in order to better assess the scenarios on site. Abbott emphasized that the main task of the National Guard was to support the police in maintaining peace and order.
Fortunately, media report that the protests in Texas have so far been largely peaceful, although in some cases there have been smaller clashes that resulted in dozens of arrests. The governor also pointed out that it was important to maintain the dialogue with the population while the order is maintained.background of the protests
The protests in Texas are part of a nationwide movement that was triggered by the increased approach of the immigration authority ICE against migrants. In California, where the National Guard was also sent to support in Los Angeles, this led to a nightly curfew, imposed by Mayor Karen Bass, after numerous arrests during similar protests. The tensions about Trump's migration policy have increased not only in Texas, but also in other states such as California and beyond
In Texas, the protests spread to several cities, including Austin and Dallas. The governor has clearly positioned itself and ensured that the measures are in line with the law. This is particularly important to protect the right to freedom of expression and at the same time ensure public security. In view of the situation, it remains to be seen how the situation will develop and what effects this could have on the cross -border protest movements.
