Texas GOP Detains Lawmaker on Floor to Force Passage of Gerrymandered Maps
Discover the extreme measures Texas Republicans took to detain a sitting lawmaker, effectively locking down the House floor overnight. Learn why Democratic representatives refused to comply with demands to be held under armed escort while fighting suppressive legislation.
Short Summary

- Lawmakers signing "permission slips" faced mandatory escort and constant monitoring by Department of Public Safety (DPS) officers. [00:02:26]
- The detention aimed to secure a quorum necessary to fast-track passage of racist gerrymandered maps the following day. [00:00:45]

None of them should’ve ever gone back.
This is what happen's when you put a fool in the White House!
This needs to be biggest law suit in the history in America. WTF is this?
I would file kidnapping charges and civil lawsuits against the sheriff's department and all the officials involved.
Holding someone against the will is kidnapping. That’s a crime.
Why did they come back?? Also, why did the other representatives sign this permission slip?? This is ridiculous.. Why isn’t there legal action happening??.
People out here just worried about buying another car, football season and all this other stuff, but America is jacked up and people need to speak up
Again none of y'all should have came back none of y'all should signed that paper
"None of us knew what was waiting for us when we turn up", Really. You had one viable strategy...… Stay out of the State.
DO NOT SIGN!
