A congressional candidate in Texas was forcibly removed from the Texas State Capitol and arrested this week, as officials say he 'refused to obey requests' to leave while voicing his opposition to Texas Republicans' redistricting efforts.

Houston congressional candidate Isaiah Martin, 27, was dragged out of the Texas Capitol during a chaotic committee hearing. Footage circulating online shows the Democrat on the floor with a sergeant-at-arms on top of him in front of shocked onlookers.
