Anti-ICE protest takes place in downtown San Antonio
The Brief Hundreds of people gathered together to protest in downtown San Antonio Gov. Abbott said he wouldn't hesitate to deploy the Texas National Guard The "Take Back the Alamo" protest happened in San Antonio on June 11 SAN ANTONIO, Texas - With more protests planned across the state, including in Austin this weekend, Gov. Abbott deployed the Texas National Guard to protect people and property. Abbott said he wouldn't reveal how many troops are coming to Texas, but they would be deploying depending on what happens during the protest. Abbott added he won't hesitate to use the Texas National Guard if future protests get out of hand. "First of all, we want to make sure that what has happened in California does not happen in Texas. Texas is a law and order state, and we will use every tool that we can to ensure order across our state," Abbott said. The "Take Back the Alamo" protest took place in downtown San Antonio on Wednesday evening. San Antonio city leaders confirmed the presence of the Texas National Guard in the city. They said those troops were not requested nor did they receive any kind of warning in advance. Dig deeper This comes just a few days after more than a dozen people were arrested in Austin during another anti-ICE protest. Four officers were injured during the protest and Texas DPS used gas to disperse the crowd. According to court documents, DPS said they witnessed three people spray-painting the Omni hotel and refused to clear the streets when the protest was over. Austin police also arrested two people for not dispersing after the protest. One person spit in the eye of an officer, the report said.

Immigration enforcement officials warn migrants against illegally crossing into country by train
Jun. 11—U.S. Customs and Border Protection has a warning for people looking to illegally get into the United States by train: "It is not worth the risk." Not only is it against the law, officials said, it can lead to injury. The warning came after Border Protection officers assigned to rail operations on Friday arrested a Mexican man allegedly trying to cross into the U.S. in a Union Pacific Railroad car in El Paso, CBP spokesperson Landon Hutchens said in a news release. The man was charged with illegal entry after removal. During a search of a northbound train, officers found the man hiding in a "hollow space at the end of an empty hopper," Hutchens said. After being arrested, officers learned he was previously arrested and deported. "Attempting to enter the United States without inspection via a cargo train is not only illegal, but it is also very dangerous," said Samuel Cleaves, CBP El Paso Field Office assistant director for border security, in a statement. "Aliens attempting to board moving trains sometimes slip and have limbs severed. As temperatures rise above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, the risk of death from heat stroke or dehydration increases. "Also, cargo can shift and injure or trap aliens. Finally, when discovered, the alien will face certain consequences for illegally entering the United States under Title 8 of the U.S. Code. It is not worth the risk." U.S. Customs and Border Protection have arrested 43 people trying to illegally enter the U.S. on trains in fiscal year 2024-25, Hutchens said. In fiscal year 2023-24, he said, 143 people were arrested for the same thing.
