A judge in Illinois denied Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s request to enforce civil arrest warrants for the absent Texas House Democrats currently in Illinois, arguing the court does not have the jurisdiction to rule in the matter.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton asked a state court Tuesday to hold former Rep. Beto O’Rourke in criminal contempt for raising money for Democratic lawmakers who are staying out of state, alleging O’Rourke violated a court order restricting his fundraising efforts—and making claims that O’Rourke’s lawyer has slammed as an “outright lie.”
