Texas Republicans vote to arrest Democrats in stalled redistricting vote

Texas Republicans vote to arrest Democrats who fled the state to block a redistricting vote, with Governor Greg Abbott threatening bribery charges against the absent legislators. The move comes as part of a battle over a proposed congressional map that would create more GOP-leaning seats in the US House of Representatives. Despite the symbolic nature of the arrest warrants, the standoff continues as Democrats remain in Illinois in a bid to stall the vote for two weeks. Governor Abbott has ordered state troopers to locate and return the absent lawmakers to the capitol building in Austin.
