troopers

In late July, Missouri state troopers walked into St. Louis County government headquarters and seized the cellphone of one of the most prominent Democratic officials in this solidly red state.

When the Dems skipped out for Oklahoma, Republican House Speaker Tom Craddick sent state troopers to politely ask them to cross back into Texas and return to work.

Republican lawmakers voted 85 to 6 to send state troopers to arrest them and bring them back to the Capitol, a move that is largely symbolic, since the lawmakers won’t face criminal or civil charges.

The route was lined by troopers on foot from the Household Cavalry's Life Guards and Blues and Royals.

Abrego Garcia was pulled over for speeding with eight other passengers and told troopers they were doing construction work in Missouri.
