Trump's FBI director Kash Patel has granted Texas Sen. John Cornyn's request to send the FBI into Illinois to find and arrest Texas Democrats for refusing to participate in the immoral quorum called by Gov. Abbott to redistrict the state before a census.
This unconscionable and illegal stunt could give Republicans 3 to 5 more seats for the midterm elections.
However, what gives the FBI the legal right to search for and possibly arrest Texas state legislators and then extradite them to another state for not committing a federal crime?
As Illinois Gov. JD Pritzker explained during Jessica Yellin's podcast, "There literally is no federal law applicable to this situation." They can say that they're sending FBI -- FBI agents might show up just to, I don't know, again, to put a show on."
