Around 4:30 p.m., the Texas National Guard was seen arriving at Alamo Plaza. Earlier in the week, Gov. Greg Abbott announced he was sending more than 2,000 Texas DPS troopers and 5,000 Texas National Guard soldiers to cities around Texas to help local law enforcement amid the protests.
Texas National Guard soldiers lined up at the Emily Morgan Hotel, only a block away from the Alamo. The protest joined similar demonstrations across the state and the nation.
