Gov. Greg Abbott directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to “locate" and "arrest" Democrats who fled the state.
President Donald Trump is standing firm in his support for Texas Republicans pushing a congressional redistricting plan, despite a dramatic walkout by state Democrats.
"We have an opportunity in Texas to pick up five seats. We have a really good governor and good people in Texas," President Trump said Tuesday in a phone interview on CNBC. "And I won Texas. I got the highest vote in the history of Texas, as you probably know. And we are entitled to five more seats."
On Sunday, more than 50 Texas House Democrats fled the state to break quorum and block the Republican-led Legislature from advancing the redistricting plan backed by Trump. The House requires at least 100 of its 150 members to be present to conduct business.
With the chamber unable to proceed on Monday, House Speaker Dustin Burrows authorized civil arrest warrants for the absent lawmakers.
Gov. Greg Abbott quickly followed with an order directing the Texas Department of Public Safety to “locate, arrest, and return to the House chamber any member who has abandoned their duty to Texans.”
However, state authorities have no jurisdiction outside Texas, where the Democrats are believed to be staying.
The special legislative session is expected to continue for several more weeks. Abbott has indicated he may call additional sessions if Democrats remain out of state.

‘We are entitled to 5 more seats’”
Considering the rats stole 15-20 in 24 you bet we are.
2024??
What about the theft of the 2020 census when they under counted states like Texas, Florida and Arkansas and over counted NY and Minnesota?
He’s exactly right. New Mexico just stole district 2, openly stating that they were achieving their goal of making it a democrat district. They ignored the ruling of the non partisan redistricting commission.

Trump is exactly correct. And the proof is right next door in New Mexico.
running away because you don’t want to do the job you asked for....
is hardly any badge of courage
Whenever anyone says they are “entitled” to anything, I cringe.
It’s like people saying they “deserve” something. Most of the time people get exactly what they deserve (not cancer) and what they are entitled to.
Well yes of course. 2018 was the year the latest rat cheat machine went fully operational. They stole a huge number of House seat after the election. They learned the GOP would do nothing and that it is a near impossibility to get a Court to even delay an election “result” let alone overturn one.
Yeah, thats about correct.
