Lawyer Basic Ken Paxton has requested a Texas district court docket choose to jail former Rep. Beto O’Rourke over his fundraising pitches linked to the state’s intensifying redistricting battle.

Paxton’s request accused the Texas Democrat of violating a court docket order that the choose, Tarrant County’s Megan Fahey, issued final week that barred fundraising by O’Rourke and his nonprofit Powered by Folks meant to bankroll the efforts by Texas Democratic lawmakers to derail the redistricting effort.

In help of his declare, he highlighted a comment O’Rourke made at a Saturday rally — a day after Fahey’s order — saying “there are no refs in this game. Fuck the rules.”
