President Donald Trump's deployment of L.A. will be “the first, perhaps, of many,” he told reporters this week.

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.

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

About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Tuesday defended the administration's mobilization of the National Guard and members of the Marine Corps to Los Angeles amid ongoing immigration protests.

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.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
