Topline

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, urged the FBI to help Texas law enforcement locate or arrest Texas Democrats who recently left the state in protest of a vote on a controversial redistricting map that would likely help the GOP gain more seats in the U.S. House.

Cornyn made the request a day after Texas Gov. Greg Abbott ordered the arrests of the Democrats, who cannot be arrested by Texas law enforcement in the states they fled to, which include New York, Illinois and Massachusetts.

Cornyn said Abbott and Texas law enforcement “are doing what they can within the confines of the law, but federal help may be necessary.”

Forbes has reached out to the FBI for comment.
