Texas Governor announces plan to use National Guard amid protests

Texas National Guard units will be deployed throughout the region to ensure order. This was announced on June 11 by Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

"The Texas National Guard will be deployed to locations across the state to ensure peace and order. Peaceful protest is legitimate," Abbott wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

He added that harming a person or property is illegal and will result in arrest. In addition, the National Guard will make every effort to support law enforcement agencies in maintaining order.

Guided Chaos: Riots continue in Los Angeles

Large-scale rallies in the United States have already turned into a struggle between Republicans and Democrats.

Mass protests in California began after a police raid to identify illegal migrants, during which 45 people were detained. On June 8, Trump ordered the National Guard to be sent to the state to stop the riots, which was condemned by the governors of 22 states, regarding it as an "abuse of power."

Izvestia correspondent Nikolai Masters reported on June 10 that protesters began throwing fireworks at police officers, as well as committing robberies and breaking into establishments.
