City of Austin Reiterates Importance of 'Peaceful and Safe Assembly' Ahead of Saturday Protest
- On Saturday, June 14, millions of Americans will participate in protests under the No Kings coalition opposing the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary celebration and immigration enforcement actions across Texas and nationwide.
- In response to heightened ICE raids and arrests, and rising tensions similar to those seen in Los Angeles and Texas, Governor Greg Abbott has mobilized thousands of Texas National Guard members along with several thousand Department of Public Safety troopers throughout the state to help preserve order during the protests.
- No Kings emphasizes a commitment to nonviolent action despite Abbott’s warning that anyone engaging in violence or property damage will face arrest and full legal accountability.
- Abbott expressed that while peaceful demonstrations are important to the country, Texas will not accept the disorder that occurred in Los Angeles following President Donald Trump’s immigration law enforcement, and U.S. Major David Belyn urged protesters to fully embrace the moment, describing it as a unique and extraordinary event.
- The protests and deployments signal ongoing conflict over immigration policies and public celebration, with state officials emphasizing law enforcement readiness and protest groups stressing peaceful resistance nationwide.
