Texas Democrat Locked in State Capitol for Refusing Mandatory Escort

Rep. Nicole Collier, a Democrat representing Fort Worth, claims that she’s been unlawfully locked in the Texas House chambers, where she remained overnight Monday and may stay for days until the issue is resolved.

Collier was one of dozens of Democrats who fled the state earlier this month to break quorum in an effort to block a vote on a contentious redistricting plan backed by President Donald Trump that would favor Republican candidates in the 2026 midterm elections. Some of the representatives returned on Monday for the start of a second special session but GOP Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows is requiring that they be escorted by state troopers when leaving the House chamber to prevent another walkout.

Collier, however, said she would not agree to such monitoring.

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
