On Monday, June 9, there was a planned protest at the Texas Capitol in Austin. This was a part of a nationwide push against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) efforts to deport criminal illegal immigrants within the country.
There are many, both friends and family alike, who have opposed these actions and have responded with their own message. Peaceful protests have emerged across America, especially in California and cities like Austin, Texas.

Texas DPS alerted the public before the protests began that they were ready to stand guard, just in case.
