AUSTIN (KXAN) — Despite warnings from the governor, the Texas National Guard was largely not a factor during Saturday’s “No Kings” protests. The seeming lack of presence was a welcome sight for at least one Austin state senator who attended the Capitol protest.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says he ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops across the state, along with more than 2,000 state police.

As of early Friday, the New Jersey National Guard has not been activated for the anti-Trump protests planned across the state Saturday.

Missouri mayors are reacting to Gov. Mike Kehoe's decision to sign an executive order on Thursday, activating the National Guard ahead of protests scheduled around the state and country this weekend.

Gov. Greg Abbott says he will deploy the Texas National Guard across the state ahead of protests planned this weekend against the Trump administration. Why it matters: Thousands are expected to protest during "No Kings Day" on Saturday across the state and nation.

Governors aren't on the same page about the National Guard for "No Kings" protests. They are weighing public safety, and if Trump will step in.

After a week of protests over federal immigration raids, about 200 Marines have moved into Los Angeles to guard a federal building and personnel in the city.
