Other Democratic lawmakers have joined a colleague in staying at the Texas Capitol rather than accept around-the-clock police escorts meant to prevent them from blocking a vote on a Republican plan for redrawing congressional districts.

Democratic state Representative Nicole Collier hunkered down for a second night in the Texas Capitol building rather than accept a mandatory police escort in a redistricting battle as President Donald Trump seeks to keep Republican control of Congress.

State Representative Nicole Collier plans to stay in the Texas Capitol until Wednesday in protest against a police escort policy.
