Two panicked Democrat state reps returned to the Texas Capitol on Tuesday after Governor Abbott threatened to have them arrested and removed from office for fleeing the state to block GOP redistricting efforts.
Texas legislators voted 85-6 on Monday to pass a motion to issue arrest warrants for the Democrat lawmakers who fled to Illinois to block GOP redistricting efforts.
Later Monday, Governor Greg Abbot ordered the Texas DPS to arrest and return every House Democrat who fled to Illinois.
“Texas House Democrats abandoned their duty and are holding flood relief and property tax cuts hostage,” Abbott said.
“I ordered Texas DPS to arrest and return every derelict House Democrat to the Texas Capitol,” Abbott added.
On Monday afternoon, Texas House lawmakers locked the doors and voted to issue arrest warrants.
