In a very unusual step, the Texas attorney general, Ken Paxton, has asked a judge to send Beto O’Rourke to jail for supposedly breaking a court order related to the Democrats‘ ongoing walkout from the state legislature.
Paxton’s request to have O’Rourke jailed comes after a Tarrant County judge already ruled that O’Rourke and his political group could not raise money and use those funds to pay for the expenses or fines of the Democratic lawmakers who have left the state.
