The Republic of Texas
The new President of the United States considered the Texas refusal to extradite previous President (Impeached) Lopez’s staffers to Washington for justice a direct challenge to his authority. And he did have the cojones to order the FBI to “Come and take them” as Texas had challenged. The FBI started at the top, with Lopez’s former Chief of Staff. Now the incoming Attorney General of Texas after winning the election in a landslide, the Texas Rangers guarded his every movement when the FBI agents came for him. The gunfight in downtown Dallas resulted in three wounded Rangers, five wounded FBI agents, and a mixed posse of Rangers, Sheriffs, and Policemen surrounding the FBI agents to demand their surrender.
