Texas Deploys Troops To Austin Ahead Of Antifa-Linked Protest

Texas Governor Greg Abbott ordered state troopers and National Guard troops to Austin on Thursday ahead of a planned antifa-linked demonstration this weekend. The deployment includes tactical assets and aircraft to prevent potential violence.

The move signals Texas’ aggressive stance against protests that could turn destructive. Abbott’s administration has increasingly used military and law enforcement resources to deter potentially violent demonstrations.

“Violence and destruction will never be tolerated in Texas,” said Governor Abbott. “Today, I directed the Texas Department of Public Safety and Texas National Guard to deploy all necessary law enforcement officials and resources to ensure the safety of Austin residents.”

Abbott added that “Texas will deter criminal mischief and work with local law enforcement to arrest anyone engaging in acts of violence or damaging property.”

The deployment includes state troopers, Special Agents, and Texas Rangers alongside National Guard soldiers. Aircraft and other tactical assets will support ground forces.

These reinforcements join thousands of DPS troopers already stationed statewide. The governor’s office did not specify the exact number of personnel being deployed.

DPS’ Homeland Security Division is actively monitoring the planned protest in Austin and other potential demonstrations across the state. The agency plans to investigate any links to terrorist organizations and pursue charges against lawbreakers.

The governor’s statement did not identify specific antifa groups or provide details about the planned demonstration. No date or location for the protest was disclosed in the announcement.

Abbott’s deployment comes as Republican governors nationwide have taken harder lines against protests. The Texas governor has previously deployed Guard troops for border security and disaster response.

Abbott’s approach contrasts with Democratic-led cities like Portland. As previously reported by The Dallas Express, an October 8 White House roundtable highlighted repeated attacks on federal facilities and private businesses in Portland, where residents say local leaders have failed to restore public safety.
