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.

City leaders are addressing concerns after Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced the deployment of the National Guard to San Antonio ahead of the "No Kings Day" protest scheduled for this weekend. San Antonio Mayor Ron Nirenberg said the city received no "advance warning" of the National Guard from Abbott.

Sheriff Salazar, who last summer criticized Donald Trump on the DNC stage, shared a message for those planning to protest ICE in Bexar County.

The mayor and the police chief said the governor did not notify them of the military deployment. They also have no details about the soldiers’ mission. They said the city is prepared to oversee peaceful demonstrations at the Alamo tonight and at Travis Park on Saturday.
