U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said the FBI agreed to help track down Texas lawmakers who left the state in a bid to block a new congressional map rigged to favor Republicans, sparking fears of a potential standoff between law enforcement or even illegal arrests.
Texas tries to arrest democrats every time they flee quorum, that isn’t really new. If the FBI actually does something, that would be new.
Did that happen in 2003? I don’t remember and I can’t find anything.
Search engines are really shitty these days, particularly when trying to find anything about arrests related to texas government. I think they did it in '01, '15, and back in the 1940s as well.
I’m seeing arrest warrants when I use a custom date range, but FBI involvement seems new.
Yes. Yes, FBI making statements is new. FBI involvement hasn’t happened yet.
