Texas GOP looks to make California enforce arrest warrants amid redistricting battle

(The Hill) Texas GOP officials on Saturday upped their calls for Democrats who fled the state for California to be arrested, unseated and brought back to the Lone Star State amid a redistricting battle.

Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) and Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R) filed a legal complaint in California urging local law enforcement to act on arrest warrants issued by the Texas statehouse for their colleagues who left the state ahead of a controversial redistricting vote.

“Texans are fed up with lawmakers who refuse to do their jobs and instead run away to states like California to exploit radical governors’ broken political systems as a shield,” Paxton said in a Saturday statement.
