A suspect was arrested in connection with threats made against state lawmakers who planned to attend Saturday's "No Kings" protest at the Texas Capitol in Austin, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.

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.

A massive crowd of protesters against President Trump filled the Texas state Capitol in Austin, hours after the grounds were evacuated for what authorities called a “credible threat” against state legislators.
