Illinois law enforcement officers should be allowed to arrest Texas House Democrats who have been staying in the Chicago area this week, Attorney General Ken Paxton argued in a lawsuit filed Thursday evening.

Texas Democratic lawmakers were evacuated from a Chicago area hotel after a bomb threat amid a standoff over a controversial redistricting plan.
