Ken Paxton seeks arrest and funding ban on Beto O’Rourke over Texas Democrats' walkout
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has requested that a judge jail former Congressman Beto O’Rourke for allegedly violating an injunction related to fundraising and speech at a rally, amid ongoing political battles over Texas Democrats' walkout to oppose a new congressional map. Paxton's actions are part of broader Republican efforts to end the walkout and push back against Democratic strategies, including lawsuits and attempts to extradite lawmakers.
