Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has deployed National Guard troops across the state ahead of more anti-ICE protests.

Abbott announced the move early Wednesday in a post on X as protests sprang up in parts of Texas and across the U.S. this week.

“To ensure peace and order, Texas National Guard will be stationed across the state,” Abbott announced. “While peaceful protest is a legal right, harming individuals or property is illegal and will result in arrest. The @TexasGuard is prepared to assist law enforcement in maintaining order using all available tools and strategies.”

The specific locations for the National Guard deployment were not disclosed. Fox News Digital attempted to obtain more information by contacting the governor’s office but had not received a response at that time.

Meanwhile, in Dallas, hundreds of demonstrators convened near the Margaret Hunt Hill Bridge on Monday evening. The gathering was occasionally tense, with participants throwing water bottles, fireworks, and rocks at law enforcement officers, as reported by FOX4 Dallas.

No officers were injured during the protest. Police arrested one individual, identified as 27-year-old Gerardo Velasquez Jr., who was charged with assault of a peace officer and attempt to take a weapon from an officer.

More protests were planned in Dallas and Austin for Saturday, while a demonstration was planned in San Antonio for Wednesday evening.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.
