Texas Dem spends night in Statehouse after GOP orders police
to follow lawmakers One lawmaker said police followed her to
the restroom, among other locations.
A Democratic Texas lawmaker opted to spend the night in the
state House chamber and remain there Tuesday rather than allow
a law enforcement officer to shadow her while Republicans try
to prevent further delays to redrawing U.S. House maps.
Rep. Nicole Collier's overnight stay stemmed from Republicans
in the Texas House requiring returning Democrats to sign what
the Democrats called “permission slips,” agreeing to
around-the-clock surveillance by state Department of Public
Safety officers to leave the floor. Collier, of Fort Worth,
refused and remained on the House floor Monday night.
. . .
Lawmakers had officers posted outside their Capitol offices,
and suburban Dallas Rep. Mihaela Plesa said one tailed her on
her Monday evening drive back to her apartment in Austin after
spending much of the day on a couch in her office. She said he
went with her for a staff lunch and even down the hallway with
her for restroom breaks.
