AUSTIN, Texas — As the official "No Kings" protest at the Texas Capitol ended, police closed a number of streets in Downtown Austin as protesters began walking through downtown.

No Kings protests come on the heels of protests across the country over federal immigration enforcement raids that began last week and Trump ordering

As part of nationwide protests against Trump administration policies, Texans hit the streets in at least sixty cities.

Gov. Greg Abbott said more than 5,000 Texas National Guardsmen are strategically positioned throughout the state to support local law enforcement. That's on top of 2,000 DPS troopers who will be ready to respond to any violence or crimes at protests on Saturday as well.

According a bulletin sent to lawmakers early Saturday afternoon, authorities "are leveraging all available resources to address this threat."

More than 1,500 events were announced throughout the U.S. to send a loud message to President Donald Trump: “In America, we don’t do kings.”

Tens of thousands of Americans joined "No Kings" protests across the United States against the Trump administration.
