So Reps are saying they will have the FBI track down missing Dems from TX. And then what? Is it a crime to leave the state of TX? Can the FBI forcibly return them if they committed no crime? Even if they did commit a crime, there is still extradition that should be necessary, yes?

What can TX really do? My first impression is that the Reps are just trying to look tough. As the article said, the FBI can locate the wayward Dems, but they don't appear to be able to do much else after that.
