This decision follows a series of protests and riots in Los Angeles. Abbott announced that National Guard soldiers will be positioned at various locations to maintain order during planned demonstrations, emphasizing that while peaceful protests are allowed, any violent acts will be met with arrests. The upcoming &#8220;No Kings Day&#8221; rally is organized by groups opposed to what they perceive as the excesses of the current administration. Abbott&#8217;s proactive deployment contrasts with California&#8217;s approach,where Governor Gavin Newsom did not call for military support during recent riots. Abbott&#8217;s administration has stressed the importance of upholding the law and ensuring public safety amidst the ongoing protests against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-to-nominate-texas-sheriff-to-lead-ice\/\" title=\"Biden to Nominate ...
