Texas Capitol Evacuated Amid Redistricting Protest | JQJO

The Texas State Capitol was evacuated due to a credible social media threat calling for violence against lawmakers. This occurred amidst protests supporting Rep. Nicole Collier, a Democrat who refused a mandated law enforcement escort after leaving the state to block Republican redistricting efforts. Collier remained in the House chamber overnight, defying the escort order, while other Democrats joined her in protest. The redistricting bill, supported by President Trump, is expected to pass.
