Texas Republicans forced Democrats to sign a slip authorizing a police officer to surveil them until Wednesday, when the House is scheduled to reconvene.

Democratic State Rep. Nicole Collier spent the night inside the State Capitol and called herself a "political prisoner" after refusing to agree to a law enforcement escort. NBC News' Ryan Chandler reports as Collier continues to stay on the House floor until the legislative body reconvenes later this week.

Democratic Texas State Rep. Nicole Collier returned to the Capitol on Monday but says she remains locked inside the building because she wouldn't sign a permission slip to be under escort by the Texas Department of Public Safety.
