The state of Texas has deputized to “immediately” start tracking down the state’s House Democrats who have been absent from Austin to deny the House a quorum to pass new voting laws.
The decision was made by the House sergeant-at-arms after the state Supreme Court blocked an attempt from Democrats to stop top Republicans from ordering the arrests of the Democrats, The Washington Examiner reported.
“Earlier today, the House sergeant-at-arms deputized members of Texas law enforcement to assist in the House’s efforts to compel a quorum. That process will begin in earnest immediately,” a spokesperson for Republican House Speaker Dade Phelan said.
