Texas Democratic lawmakers have taken refuge at a secure hotel in St. Charles, Illinois, after Governor Greg Abbott ordered their arrest in response to their dramatic departure from the state – a move intended to block a Republican-backed redistricting bill.
The lawmakers are staying at the Q Center, a 95-acre hotel and conference facility nestled along the Fox River in suburban St. Charles. On Monday evening, security personnel were seen stationed at the entrance, controlling and restricting access to the gated property.
