Gov. Greg Abbott announced on Thursday he would be deploying over 5,000 Texas National Guard members across the state in anticipation of Saturday’s protests, according to the Texas Tribune. Roughly 2,500 of those were diverted from Operation Lone Star border assignments, according to the Austin American-Statesman.

In the wake of California violence, Texas National Guard will be on hand for the  downtown event. Organizers say they expect things to be peaceful.

People in San Antonio planned a demonstration on Saturday to condemn President Trump’s military parade in Washington D.C., which is meant in part to mark the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army. The “No-Kings Nationwide Day of Defiance” protest is scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. at Travis Park.
