`Texas State Representative Nicole Collier, a six-term Democrat representing Fort Worth, joined me while being physically detained on the House floor. Yes, you read that right. The sergeant at arms and the Texas Department of Public Safety have literally locked the chamber doors and are refusing to let her leave unless she signs a so-called “permission slip” that would place her under 24/7 police escort."

Texas House of Representatives Minority Leader Gene Wu, chairperson of the Texas House Democratic Caucus, said in a statement that Democrats returned because they had achieved their two main goals. #us #usa #news #minimarketonlineltd #America #trump #texas #democrat

"Republican leadership in #Texas refused to let Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier leave the House chamber after she refused to agree to a 24/7 police "escort."

... #Democrats who left the state would only be allowed to leave the chamber on Monday if they signed an agreement to be accompanied by an escort from the Texas Dept of Public Safety...

Collier was "locked into the House chamber" because she refused to sign the document."
