The Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott on Monday ordered the state officials to arrest dozens of Democratic MPs, who fled the Illinois in an attempt to block the redistributed vote of a Republican Congress, intensifying a political standoff that has brought the legislative session in a halt.“To ensure compliance, I ordered the Texas Department of Public Safety that he ordered any member to detect, arrest and return to the House Chamber, who left Texas his duty,” Abbott said. As quoted by New York Post, he said, “This order will remain effective as long as all the missing Democrat House members are responsible and brought to the Texas Capital.”Walkout by 51 House Democrats prevented the Texas Legislature from reaching the two-thirds quorum required for one vote, stopping a special legislative session called by Abbott. The aim of the session was to pursue redistribution plans, recently providing disaster relief for the Texas floods, and banning the main psychiatry compound THC in Marijuana.Abbott said in a statement, “Texas House Democrats gave up their duty for Texas.” “Running from the state, Texas House Democrats are making significant laws to help flood victims and to pursue property tax relief. The results of insult to duties.”The Texas House Offersant voted 85–6 on Monday to approve a proposal to return the Democrats. House Speaker Dustin Bursh then then “to send the chamber’s Sergeant to weapons for all absences … under the warrant of arrest, if necessary, if necessary.”Most absent MPs visited Illinois, where dozens of Duppage County Democratic attended the Democratic Governor JB Pritzkar on Sunday night at the Democratic Party headquarters.Half a dozen other Democrats roughly attended the New York Governor Kathy Hochul in Albani on Monday.Hocul said about the decision to leave Austin, “If it is what is said, this is said.” She used to call Abbott as “Un-Amanican” and accused the GOP of “rigging” in the next Congress election, by the New York Post.He said, “To reduce the will of the people, they are in hell on misappropriation in the system. The system of the system is the United Nations American. Congress districts are never drawn in the mid -mid -decade,” they argued.The redistribution proposal supported by President Trump can purify the Republican up to five additional seats in the US House of Representatives – expanding the narrow majority of GOP in the mid -term elections of 2026.
