The Texas House of Representatives voted 85–6 to arrest dozens of Democratic state lawmakers who weren’t present when the House went into session on Monday afternoon. The vote comes in the midst of a fight over congressional districts.

Republican House Speaker Dustin Burrows said on the floor he would immediately sign civil arrest warrants for the Democratic legislators who weren’t there.
