According to reports from CoinWorld, the Texas House of Representatives passed a motion today authorizing the Speaker to issue civil arrest warrants to detain Democratic lawmakers who failed to attend a special session. Yesterday, dozens of Democratic lawmakers collectively left Texas in an attempt to block a congressional redistricting plan. The motion specifically authorizes "the legislative guard or designated officials to bring back all unauthorized absent lawmakers to ensure their attendance at the meeting if necessary based on the arrest warrant." The motion was ultimately passed with 85 votes in favor and 6 against, announced Speaker Dustin Burrows. As of the time of publication, the Texas governor has ordered the arrest of Democrats who fled the state.
