Texas Democrat remains locked in House chamber after refusing GOP law enforcement escort
Democratic state Rep. Nicole Collier spent Monday night locked in the Texas House of Representatives in Austin after refusing to sign a pledge to return for a vote on Republican redistricting proposals. Collier's protest came after 51 of the state's opposition lawmakers fled for Illinois, New York and Massachusetts earlier this month to deny the GOP majority a quorum in the House, preventing it from holding a ballot on plans to create five new red seats ahead of next year's midterms that would almost certainly have passed had the Democrats participated. After two weeks of Republican fury in which House Speaker Dustin Burrows issued civil arrest warrants, the runaways finally returned to their posts, only to find that Burrows expected them to sign a statement committing themselves to returning for the scheduled vote at 10 am on Wednesday – and be accompanied by individual law enforcement escorts in the interim. The speaker's ultimatum meant the rebel Democrats would not be able to leave the chamber without risking arrest unless they put pen to paper. Collier, who represents Fort Worth, flatly refused to comply with what Democrats mockingly characterized as a 'permission slip' or 'hall pass' system that effectively rendered their liberty conditional. 'I refuse to sign,' she told Fox News's Austin affiliate. 'I will not agree to be in [Department of Public Safety] custody. I'm not a criminal. I am exercising my right to resist and oppose the decisions of our government. So this is my form of protest.' In a subsequent statement, she elaborated: 'My constituents sent me to Austin to protect their voices and rights. I refuse to sign away my dignity as a duly elected representative just so Republicans can control my movements and monitor me with police escorts. 'My community is majority-minority, and they expect me to stand up for their representation. When I press that button to vote, I know these maps will harm my constituents – I won't just go along quietly with their intimidation or their discrimination.' The Independent has contacted Collier's office for further comment. Refusing to play ball but still bound by the speaker's conditions, Collier instead spent the night among the otherwise empty chairs of the legislative chamber, offering a livestream of her quiet protest on her X account. Texas House Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu and fellow representative Vince Perez stayed with her on the House floor in a show of solidarity, with Wu posting a picture of the snacks he was bringing with him, including dried peaches and grapes and instant ramen noodles. Collier also received a message of support from former Democratic presidential candidate Beto O'Rourke, who said: 'A true hero, refusing to submit, fighting these fascists by herself if she has to. We are with you Nicole!' The drama began on August 3 when the Democrats went into exile in the three northern blue states rather than enable a gerrymandering push that would, in all likelihood, have ended with their Republican counterparts redrawing the electoral map to their advantage with one eye on the November 2026 midterm elections, creating five extra seats in right-leaning areas. That would enable the Lone Star State to send five more Republicans to Washington, D.C., to help force through President Donald Trump's legislative agenda on Capitol Hill, a great help to the president when the congressional GOP's majority is currently so slender. By fleeing, the Democrats denied the GOP the two-thirds majority attendance it required in the 150-seat state House to go ahead with its vote on the proposals. The lawmakers won the support of the Democratic National Committee, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and influential blue state governors like Gavin Newsom and JB Pritzker. Still, they risked arrest and $500 per day fines for their actions. After Newsom vowed to fight fire with fire in California and redraw his map to favor Democrats as a means of remedying the measures being undertaken by the Texas Republicans, the southerners were finally able to make their way home. 'Now that we have California backing us up, we try to get back here as fast as possible,' Wu said. 'With that margin of the safety, we can come back here and say, let's stick this thing to court.'

Mayor LaToya Cantrell indicted: What happens next?
NEW ORLEANS (WGNO) — Last Friday, Mayor LaToya Cantrell made history becoming the first sitting New Orleans mayor to be indicted on federal charges. Now, the focus shifts to what comes next in the legal process. Cantrell is expected to voluntarily surrender; a step arranged between her attorney and federal prosecutors. That will lead to an arraignment, where she'll appear before a federal judge to hear the charges and enter a plea. 'They call it a surrender,' Legal Analyst Cliff Cardone said. 'So, typically what happens is the attorney representing the mayor will call up the U.S. attorney's office and tell the U.S. attorney that we want to surrender her, and arraignments will be made for her to appear in front of a federal magistrate.' At that stage, Cantrell will be booked, possibly photographed, and may be asked to surrender her passport. The judge will then decide whether she is released on her own recognizance or required to post bond. 'It's going to be a question of whether this person is a danger to herself or society at large, and that will be used to determine what the bond is,' Cardone said. The charges stem from what federal prosecutors say was an attempt to cover up her relationship with former NOPD bodyguard Jeffrey Vappie. Louisiana attorney general calls for refunds from speed cameras But the indictment isn't the only challenge Cantrell faces. She's also being sued in a civil case tied to a woman who photographed her with Vappie in the French Quarter. Federal records show liens on her home for unpaid taxes and work from a roofing company. Cardone warned the legal fight will demand much of her time, 'She's going to be spending most of her time in the next year preparing for a defense which consequently will take her away from city business.' Rafael Goyeneche with the Metropolitan Crime Commission said the arraignment could come within days, adding, 'The arraignment is just a formality. 99.99% of the time the accused comes in and pleads not guilty.' After arraignment, the timeline to trial remains uncertain. Meanwhile, the City of New Orleans released a statement saying Cantrell remains focused on her duties: 'Today, Mayor LaToya Cantrell expressed her gratitude to the dedicated employees of the City of New Orleans for their continued commitment to serving the citizens of our city. All city services remain operational, government functions continue to move forward, and Mayor Cantrell remains focused on doing the job each day for the City of New Orleans.'Latest Posts 'Love is Blind' host Nick Lachey talks the 'purrfect' match New Orleans mayor's court date set Texas House advances GOP-friendly map after weeks of Dem resistance Rain chances come back starting Thursday Lizard species in New Orleans highly resistant to lead: Study Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Texas Democrat abruptly leaves DNC call after being warned she's committing felony
A Texas Democratic state lawmaker abruptly left a call with Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chair Ken Martin and other top party leaders on Wednesday after she was warned she was committing a felony. 'Sorry, I have to leave,' state Rep. Nicole Collier (D) said at one point in the call, interrupting Martin. 'They said it's a felony for me to do this. Apparently I can't be on the floor or in a bathroom.' 'You told me I was only allowed to be here in the bathroom,' she told someone who was out of view of the camera. 'No, hold on – bye everybody, I've gotta go.' Collier was participating in the call from inside the Texas Capitol, where the state House was currently moving forward with a vote on a GOP-friendly House map. Democrats had initially fled Texas to block passage of the map, but returned earlier this week. Democrats who wanted to leave and come back to the Capitol in between when the House met could only do so after 'agreeing to be released into the custody of a designated DPS officer appointment under the rules of the House,' according to Texas House Speaker Dustin Burrows (R). They also have to sign a form saying they will come back to the state legislature. Collier declined to agree to the terms and instead has slept inside the state legislature in protest. It was not clear exactly what Collier did that constituted a felony, though the incident angered Democrats on the call. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) blasted the news as 'outrageous,' saying 'Rep. Collier in the bathroom has more dignity than Donald Trump in the Oval Office,' said Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.). 'That is outrageous. What they're trying to do right there, is silence an American leader, silence a Black woman and that is outrageous,' he added.
