A delegation of Texas House Democrats had to evacuate their hotel in Illinois Wednesday morning due to a potential bomb threat, according to multiple lawmakers and local police.

We are safe, we are secure, and we are undeterred,” said caucus leaders after police searched the hotel where some of the lawmakers who had fled Texas were staying.

Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul issued a stern warning to Texas Governor Greg Abbott and other Texas Republicans who said they will send law enforcement to arrest Democrats who left the state over the GOP redistricting plan.
