IL Attorney General Kwame Raoul issued a statement clarifying that there is no legal basis for the arrest of Texas lawmakers in Illinois. “In Illinois, the rule of law matters, and law enforcement must have a legitimate legal basis to arrest someone. Texas law enforcement officers have no authority to hunt down and make arrests of Texas legislators in Illinois based on a civil arrest warrant issued by the Texas House. The Texas House may have managed to issue civil arrest warrants without having a quorum, but those civil warrants carry no weight in Illinois.”  – AG Raoul
