Wasn’t Texas a ‘states rights’ state? I’m sure sending armed people into other states would be an infringement of that state’s rights. You should follow the proper channels and ask that state to return those people. Remember: “No” is a complete sentence.
The “state’s rights” states have ALWAYS been “our state’s rights and not yours”: “our rights to own slaves” and “our rights to come into your state and find drag our runaway slaves back to our state”. This is literally the Fugitive Slave Act, but the “Fugitive Legislator Act”: we’re going to send our people into your state to arrest them and drag them back.
What about Texans right to infringe on other people’s rights?
Plus, you can’t let other states infringe on your rights, so best be infringing on them, first.
