Texas House pushes for reallocation, Democrats vow to fight | Texas

Texas Democrats Republicans are denied by the state legislature On Monday, the legislative quorum was to leave the state, and at least in the current plan proposed by the White House actively re-divided Texas congressional stance.

When the Legislature reveled at 3 p.m. Monday, Democrats fled, Republicans were given a quorum without eight votes. Illinoislegislative sessions held in Boston, New York and elsewhere.

Greg Abbott, the state’s Republican Governor, said in an extraordinary escalation that he had ordered Texas The Department of Public Safety “positions, arrests and returns to House Assembly, any member who has waived his duties to Texans.”

“There are consequences of responsibility,” Abbott said in a statement Monday, after the Republican-ruled House issued a civil arrest warrant. “The order will remain in effect until all missing Democratic House members are occupied and taken to the Texas Capitol. ”

However, executing Abbott’s command will be difficult because Democrats Those who leave the country are beyond the jurisdiction of the Texas authorities.

Democrats have 62 out of 150 seats in the lower legislature, so the Texas Legislature cannot move forward with any vote as long as at least 51 members leave Austin, including plans seeking by Donald Trump to revise the state’s congressional map to provide the state’s congressional map to provide the state’s congressional map. Republicans Congress has five more seats.

Representative Dustin Burrows, Texas Speaker, adjourned the House at 1 p.m. Tuesday after announcing calls for absentee lawmakers and threatened their arrest. He cited legislation on flood mitigation and human trafficking in calling for Democrats to return, rather than a controversial redivision proposal before the chamber.

“Some of our colleagues have fled the duty of the state instead of these challenges,” Burrows said. “They left the state, gave up their posts, and turned to the support of the voters they vowed to represent. They shunned the responsibility under the guidance and pressure of out-of-state politicians and activists who didn’t know there was the right thing for Texas.”

Democrats pushed back strongly, accusing Abbott of holding a special meeting at Trump’s request instead of prioritizing relief after the catastrophic flood that killed 135 people in central Texas last month.

“I never thought of being an elected member of the Texas House and now an elected member of the Texas to the U.S. House Building, and I would see the governor of the Pride of Texas with a knee bent, from New York’s felony,” Texas Congressman Julie Johnson Johnson Johnson all laughed at Abbott during a press conference in Illinois. “I never thought I would see this day, but we’re here.”

If the Texas Republican succeeds, Johnson will speak with members of the Illinois congressional delegation and several state representatives who left Texas on Sunday.

“Texas House Democrats know how to fight,” said Jessica González, Texas Representative. “Our sleeves are rolled up and we are ready to go for this fight because our community, nation and nation are definitely worth fighting for.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fled his impeachment hearing and refused the court to release his travel record after he spoke at a rally in Washington ahead of the January 6 uprising, describing the willful Democratic lawmakers as “cowards.”

The spokesman Hamburg said the house would not sit quietly. “The people of Texas are also watching the country when you block the work of the people, and if you choose to continue along this path, you should know that there will be consequences.”

The Texas Democratic Caucus reply:”bring it on.”

State Representative James Talarico in Video message Record at the airport. “We are fighting for the democratic process and the stakes cannot be higher. We must stand.”

Dozens of protesters gathered in front of Governor Austin’s mansion on Monday to protest Republicans’ hasty rewrites of the state’s congressional district.

Lead by Democratic Congressmen Greg Casar and Lloyd Doggett, protesters marched back and forth in front of the Governor’s Mansion.

Casar tells the story of a leading advancement, praising state Democrats fleeing states, denying Republicans needed to pass the quorum required for new congressional maps to strip a new congressional map that would significantly dilute the Democratic voting power to safeguard next year’s congressional midterm.

Cassal said President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act in 1965 to “prevent such maps.”

“We will fight like hell to stop it,” he said. “We will not go back to 1965.”

“I basically think he’s a errand for President Trump,” Doggett said of Texas Governor Greg Abbott. “He didn’t ask for this map, he just followed the order.”

“Governor Abbott could have easily mitigated the flood on the first day of this special session,” Casar added. “Instead, he took the flood relief hostages…that’s all about himself and Donald Trump.”

He said every Republican member of Casar discussing the map was privately telling him that they were against the rezoning efforts. Since Trump first proposed a plan to re-division, Republicans have been concerned that any attempt to retrain the state’s congressional area could backfire because it’s difficult to create new right-leaning areas without making the existing red areas less conservative.

Most of the Democratic caucus absconded to Chicago, a city made up of a Democratic mayor and city council that has a Democratic governor and legislature.

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who owns Hyatt Regency Chicago, Announced on Monday As long as he is not in the state, he will provide free rooms for the Texas Democrats.

The special session of the Texas Legislature lasted 30 days, but Abbott could renew the special session at will. Under the new rules, the Texas House of Representatives passed in 2021, and each legislator will be fined $500 a day.

If Texas gets the plan, Democratic-led states vow to respond in kind.

Earlier Monday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was exploring “every option” to relist state congressional boundaries.

“I’m very tired [of] This battle tied with my hands behind me.

“We’re in war,” she added. “That’s why the gloves are out-I said to keep going.”
