5:26Now PlayingTroopers with the Texas Department of Public Safety have been ordered to provide "around-the-clock escorts" for Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to block a vote on a Republican-backed redistricting proposal. Democratic state Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer tells "NewsNation Live" the move is “100% inappropriate.” He acknowledges the Legislature's quorum requirement but says requiring members to surrender to police custody to ensure attendance seems “a little bit overboard” and that he’s looking forward to an explanation.
