Protests against immigration enforcement intensified across Texas on Monday, as part of a broader national movement challenging ICE raids and government immigration policies.
Dozens of protests erupted across the United States on Monday in response to intensified Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations—but Texas stood out as one of the key flashpoints. Demonstrations were held in cities including Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio, as part of a wider surge of anti-ICE activism spreading nationwide.
The Texas protests come after a weekend of unrest in Los Angeles that saw more than 50 arrests and the deployment of thousands of National Guard troops. Organizers in Texas say they are planning additional rallies throughout the week, including coordinated demonstrations in major cities on Tuesday and participation in Saturday’s nationwide “No Kings” protests.
Many Texans joining the protests are affiliated with trade unions and immigrant rights organizations. A significant portion of the outcry has centered on the arrest of David Huerta, president of SEIU California, during Friday’s protests in L.A. His detention has galvanized union groups across Texas to demand his release and call attention to what they describe as unjust immigration policies.
“We’re seeing communities under siege, and Texas is at the heart of that crisis,” said a protester in Dallas. “This is not just about raids—it’s about how immigration enforcement is being used as a tool of fear.”
President Donald Trump’s deployment of military personnel to Los Angeles has drawn fierce criticism, including from California Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass. The state of California is now suing the Trump administration, calling the deployment “unlawful” and “an overreach of federal authority.”
Despite the growing tension, protesters across Texas vowed to continue their demonstrations. “This is not a one-day thing,” said an organizer in Houston. “This is a movement to defend our communities and our values.”
As protests continue throughout the week, all eyes are on how Texas authorities—and federal officials—respond to what is shaping up to be one of the largest coordinated anti-ICE protest waves in recent years.
