No matter what California does, Texas will still lose two Black congressional members. That's still unacceptable, said state Rep. Aicha Davis, D-DeSoto.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker said he's considered redrawing the state's congressional map in response to the Texas redistricting push to give Republicans 5 more seats, saying "everything has to be on the table.

A judge in Illinois denied Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s request to enforce civil arrest warrants for the absent Texas House Democrats currently in Illinois, arguing the court does not have the jurisdiction to rule in the matter.

Redistricting was a large focus at an annual gathering of the state party’s central committee and the Republican County Chair’s Association in Springfield, with a pre-taped message from Texas Gov. Greg Abbott that dubbed his push “fair” and “necessary” setting the tone for the day.

Protests erupt across the U.S. over GOP-led redistricting, claimed to be gerrymandering to increase Republican congressional seats, with Trump's support and similar Democratic tactics noted.

In response, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott threatened to try to remove the Democrats from the state Legislature and said some of them may even be "felons."
