After Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops across the state ahead of mass, anti-Trump protests, internal memos obtained by the American-Statesman reveal military leaders are scrambling to find and train enough personnel for the mission.

No Kings protests were held Saturday in nearly 2,000 places across the U.S. The protests were planned on the same day as the military parade in D.C.

The “day of defiance” protests begin as early as 10 a.m. in North Texas, while the Washington, D.C., military parade for the Army’s 250th birthday starts at 5:30 p.m. Central.

Texas DPS officers will close the Capitol early ahead of Saturday's protest to ensure safety, but organizers say 'No Kings' protest will be peaceful.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in Dallas, Fort Worth, Frisco, Arlington, other North Texas cities.

If stopped by police, you’re only required to give your name in Texas if lawfully detained. You have the right to remain silent if arrested. Ask for a lawyer and don’t sign anything without legal advice. If you get pepper-sprayed or gassed, leave the area and flush your eyes with water or saline — not milk or oils.

As protests continue across North Texas, one sheriff is making it clear that while peaceful demonstrations are protected, any acts of violence or property damage will be met with swift consequences.
