'He has no legal mechanism': Texas Rep. Jolanda Jones fires back at Gov. Abbott over arrest threats
Texas State Rep. Jolanda Jones (D) fired back at Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) over arrest threats as Democrats fled the state to avoid a vote on redistricting. “Subpoenas from Texas don’t work in New York, so he can’t come and get us. Subpoenas in Texas don’t work in Chicago. … He’s putting up smoke and mirrors,” Jolanda Jones, one of the lawmakers who was in New York, said.
