Appearance in Texas while Abbott threatens the Democrats who fled in protest of the redistribution of districts

A confrontation is developing in Texas while Governor Greg Abbott threatens to eliminate Democrats who have fled the State in protest of the effort led by Republicans to create a new map of Congress.

Abbott said that the Democrats from the Texas House of Representatives have until 3 pm local time on Monday to return to the state house for the special session or risk losing their work. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton suggested that the Democrats who left should be arrested and brought by force.

He answer From the democratic Caucus of the Texas House of Representatives to the threat of Abbott was: “Come and Tomalo”.

Democratic members who abandoned the State are scheduled to celebrate several events throughout the day on Monday in New York, Massachusetts and Illinois.

The proposed Congress map, backed by President Donald Trump, could create up to five new Republican seats and help Republicans maintain camera control in the mid -period elections of 2026. The consideration of the bill had been established for Monday, but cannot proceed if the Democrats deny a quorum.

The first press conference with Texas Democrats on Monday was with New York Governor Kathy Hochul in Albany.

“We will not sit aside while the Republicans try to manipulate the system to give Donald Trump more power without control,” Hochul said in a statement. “Texas Democrats are defending the future of our democracy, and I am proud to be with them in the fight against the deprivation of rights.”

The Democrats of the House of Representatives of Texas who have attended Massachusetts for the summit of the National Conference of State Legislators will join the governor of Illinois JB Pritzker for a press conference in Boston on Monday at 1 PM et. Then, the Democrats of the Texas House of Representatives who have met at Illinois will hold a press conference with Democratic members of Congress in Chicago.

Pritzker accused Trump Sunday of “manipulating” the new Texas maps for despair and concern that, due to his policies, he was in danger of losing the republican majority of the House of Representatives in Washington. The governor of Illinois also warned that the recently proposed maps established a dangerous precedent throughout the country.

“This is not just manipulating the system in Texas,” said Pritzker. “It is about manipulating the system against the rights of all Americans in the coming years.”

Abbott, in his warning to the Democrats of the House of Representatives of Texas, said that leaving the State in protest was equivalent to “abandonment or confiscation of a elected state office.”

“The true Texans do not flee from a fight,” Abbott said in the statement. “But that is exactly what the majority of the Democrats of the Texas House of Representatives have just done. Instead of doing their job and voting on urgent legislation that affects the lives of all Texans, they have fled Texas to deprive the quorum camera necessary to fulfill and carry out business.”
