According to AP:

The U.S. Justice Department is investigating the role of federal officials in last month's hunt for Texas lawmakers who fled to Oklahoma to block passage of a redistricting bill.

Democrats have been asking for a full accounting of the search, and U.S. Rep. Lloyd Doggett told The Associated Press the late announcement of the investigation is another attempt to avoid his and other House members' requests for documents.
