Texas has been the epicenter of Trump’s push to gerrymander congressional maps to shore up Republicans’ narrow House majority before next year.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is asking a California court to recognize civil warrants issued in Texas calling for the arrest and return of House Democrats that left the state to break quorum and prevent a vote on redrawn congressional maps.

“We are running from nothing,” said Texas state Rep. Ann Johnson, one of a group of state Democrats who fled Texas to deny Republicans quorum. “We see the danger that is coming and we are running straight for it.”
