Abbott Deploys Elite Texas Guard, Declares Troops ‘Ever Ready’

In a powerful display of leadership and loyalty to the Constitution, Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced Monday the immediate deployment of the elite Texas National Guard to assist in protecting federal property amid growing unrest across Democrat-run cities.

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Abbott didn’t mince words “The elite Texas National Guard. Ever ready. Deploying now.”

The message was short but the meaning was crystal clear: Texas is stepping in where others have failed.

This decisive action comes at the request of President Donald Trump, who called on allied states to deploy support as protests and violent acts have surged in cities like Chicago and Portland. These protests, increasingly aimed at federal buildings and personnel, have escalated in recent weeks, prompting the White House to coordinate defense reinforcements with states willing to stand up for law and order.

Governor Abbott has authorized 400 troops from the Texas National Guard, stating clearly that federal officials either need to "fully enforce protection for federal employees or get out of the way and let the Texas Guard do it."

Meanwhile, leftist governors are doing everything in their power to block this show of strength:

• Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has labeled the move “an invasion,” choosing political games over public safety.

• Oregon officials are reportedly pursuing legal action to stop out-of-state troop deployments.

• Legal challenges are mounting, but Democrat opposition continues to embolden lawlessness on the streets.

This isn’t the first time Governor Abbott has taken a stand while others cowered. Under his leadership, Texas has:

• Deployed razor wire and state troopers to secure its southern border.

• Initiated Operation Lone Star, resulting in over 500,000 apprehensions of illegal aliens since 2021.

• Passed some of the toughest anti-riot and pro-law enforcement legislation in the country.

Supporters flooded Abbott’s announcement post with praise, with millions of views rolling in within hours. Texans and patriots nationwide see it for what it is: real leadership in a time of weakness from the federal establishment and blue state governors.

While the legal dust settles, one thing remains crystal clear: Texas is not waiting around to be told to do the right thing.

As federal buildings are attacked and ICE agents are boxed in by radical agitators, Americans are once again witnessing the consequences of Democrat rule chaos, inaction, and contempt for those in uniform.

But in Texas, the message is loud and clear "Ever ready."
