The Democratic Representative of the State of Texas, Nicole Collier, spent Monday evening to limit the state floor after refusing to acquiesce at the request of the Texas Republicans that she only leaves under the supervision of agents of the Ministry of Public Security.
Necklace posted a photo of her Tuesday on Instagram sleeping in one of the seats in the house room with a sleep mask and a blanket. “It was my night,” legend the photo of the Texas politician. “Good Morning America”, meanwhile, a dedicated part of its broadcast on Tuesday to share images of the necklace stay overnight. “I am tired of being pushed and I said what to do when I do not agree with the actions of our government,” she told viewers.
Necklace was part of a group of Democrats from the Texas Chamber who fled the state earlier this month in order to block a vote on the redistribution of state republicans. Necklace and his Democratic colleagues returned to Capitol Building in Austin, Texas on Monday, where the president of the Texas Chamber, Dustin Burrows, announced that their future movements would be monitored and restricted.
Burrows told the Democrats present that they would not be allowed to leave the House of Texas that if they signed an authorization slip accepting the Escorts of the DPS, which would guarantee not to leave the State until the House of Representatives meets on Wednesday morning. This rule, Burrows announced, applied to all the Democrats who had previously prevented the Chamber from reaching the two -thirds quorum necessary to vote on the new cards of the redesigned Congress of the Texas of the Republicans.
Necklace and its Protestant Democratic colleagues had already received civil arrest mandates placed on them for having fled in states led by Democrats like Illinois and New York. While most of the Texas Democrats have accepted the DPS escort requests from the Republicans, Collar did not do so. She has therefore been confined to the house floor since Monday. According to CNN, she is only authorized to leave the word to visit her office under the supervision of the police.
Otherwise, it is not allowed to leave the Capitol building until it accepts the republican supervision requests.
Necklace was joined on the floor of the room during the night by its other representatives of Texas State Gene Wu and Vince Perez. Wu and Perez initially signed the authorization slips accepting the DPS escorts, but finally chose to stay in solidarity with necklace for the duration of the night. Perez would have left the house of the house on Tuesday morning.
Images taken from the house by Wu captured the songs of the exterior crowds which demanded that the Republicans [Collier] Outside! “The old representative of the state of Texas Beto O’Rourke, on the other hand, responded on X to a photo of a collar sitting alone on the house of the house, writing:” A real hero, refusing to submit, fighting these fascists by herself if she owes it. We are with you Nicole!
Necklace and his Democratic colleagues have been actively fighting for more than two weeks, the Plan des Républicains du Texas to draw new Congress cards in the State which would lead to the creation of five other seats at the Maison des Redres before the next series of mid-term elections in 2026. This decision is the result of the exhortation on the part of President Donald Trump, who was the subject of a Governor Texas Greg Abbott and Repibans to go back to Texas Greg Abbott and Republicans to withdraw Texas, before retaining Texas Abbott and distributing the rise of Texas before Abbott and Republicans at the end of Texas before Abbott and Republicans at the end of Texas, before retaining Texas Abbott and Midterms repairate of next year.
The planned redistribution marks a major break in the American tradition, which dictates that the states only go down their congress cards once a decade after the completion of the last American census. Consequently, this decision received major declines from Democrats inside and outside Texas, notably the governor of California Gavin Newsom.
The latter politician has promised to redraw the cards of the congress of his state and to bring together the Democrats of California potentially five other seats in the Chamber in the State if the Republicans of Texas follow their own redistribution plan.
