NexStar – Texas’s house was postponed until Wednesday morning. But one of the state deputy resides in the room, where he runs a protest with interest.
Before the house was postponed on Monday, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dustin Buroz, R-LUBBOCK, ordered the doors to the room. He said that the members need written permission to leave the room. But he added an additional step for the Democrats who broke the quorum and had arrest orders. The spokesman said that these members will be granted a written permission to leave only after agreeing to release them in the reservation of a dedicated public safety employee who guarantees their return to the house on Wednesday at 10 am
Representative Nicole Koller, Dr. Fort Worth, rejected him and was not allowed to leave.
“I refuse to expect my dignity as an elected representative in a due manner so that the Republicans can control my movements and observers while accompanying the police.”
Democrats in Texas highlighted its protest, and sent a press statement stating that Coller was held in the room, “he was detained as a political prisoner.” Texas House Democratic Truction created a direct collection of Coller in the house hall and offered direct interviews for reporters with the actor.
At some point, supporters gather outside the room chanting, “Let it go!” A post on social media by The Texas House Democrats has shown a video of activists who seemed to have been arrested outside the House of Representatives Chamber.
Other Democrats in Texas have moved to social media, and they published photos and videos with Coller to show support.
Late on Monday, Ryan Chandler, NBC News, reported that Koller had told that she could leave the home of the house to go to her office, which is located in another part of the Capitol. It is said that she cannot leave the building without accompanying DPS.
Early Collier’s protest, the Texas Committee in the House of Representatives voted for the re -division of departments outside the committee, a new version of a draft law with new maps proposed to Congress. The committee’s vote determines the stage of the full parliament to consider the legislation of the re -division of departments, as it is expected to pass.
Maps are designed to enhance Republican representation in the Texas delegation in Congress. The legislation to re -divide the circles comes after President Donald Trump called on Texas leaders to redraw the voting lines to obtain five republican seats in Congress during the mid -term elections.
Representative Todd Hunter, R-Corpus Christi, defended the Republican representation plan.
Hunter said before the committee vote on Monday: “The US Supreme Court says … the judicial authorities may participate in dealing with constitutional political policies, with the realization that politics and political considerations are inseparable from distribution and distribution.”
The maps are likely to pay Congress Member Mark Fedy, a democratic representing the region that includes a lot of the state of the state. Coller believes that the maps will have a negative impact on its voters.
“My community is the majority, and they expect me to stand to represent them. When I press this button to vote, I know that these maps will harm my components,” Coller said in a press release.
“My voter sent me to Austin to protect their voices and rights,” Koller added.
