SAN ANTONIO, Texas– Anti-ICE protests occurred in downtown San Antonio on June 11, with participants rallying against detentions by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The protests were planned to be peaceful, despite the heavy law enforcement presence.

The protests followed Governor Greg Abbott’s decision to deploy the National Guard to various locations in Texas amid growing unrest.
Roads around Alamo Plaza were closed to accommodate the demonstrators.
