From what I heard this morning, and when that happened, there's no authority to act outside TX. And it's not a crime, so there's no provision for extradition. It is a rule violation, and should be referred to as "detain" not "arrest". It's not up to Gov. Asshole no matter how much chest-thumping he's been doing. The TX House Speaker has to order them detained at the capitol.
