Demonstrators will assemble at 11 a.m. at St. Paul College and begin marching to the Minnesota Capitol at noon, according to organizers including Indivisible Twin Cities, MN50501, Women’s March Minnesota and MN AFL-CIO labor unions.

Abbott's announcement did not detail where the troops were sent, but some were seen at a protest Wednesday night in downtown San Antonio near the Alamo.

Gov. Greg Abbott says he ordered the deployment of more than 5,000 Texas National Guard troops across Texas, along with more than 2,000 state police.
