John Cornyn asks FBI to help round up Texas Democrats who fled the state [View all]

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn wants the FBI to help “locate and arrest” Texas Democrats who left the state to block a GOP-led effort to redraw congressional voting maps.

In a letter sent to FBI Director Kash Patel on Tuesday, Cornyn called this a “time-sensitive manner” since lawmakers are only scheduled to be meeting for another two weeks.

The Democrats absconded to blue states like California, Illinois and New York. While the House has issued arrest warrants for their absence, and Gov. Greg Abbott has directed state troopers to arrest them on site, their jurisdiction applies only in Texas.

“I request the FBI’s assistance, as federal resources are necessary to locate the out-of-state Texas legislators who are potentially acting in violation of the law,” he said. “The FBI has tools to aid state law enforcement when parties cross state lines, including to avoid testifying or fleeing a scene of a crime.”
