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.

The Texas State Capitol and surrounding grounds are temporarily closed to the public on the afternoon of Saturday, June 14 after the Texas Department of Public Safety confirmed the agency had fielded a "credible threat" targeting state lawmakers attending the No Kings, Kick Out the Clowns protest slated for later in the evening.
