What federal crime has the Texas Democrats committed?

The FBI can help locate the Texas Democrats but under what federal statute can they arrest them? I serious doubt the FBI will arrest them. They can tell Gov. Abbott where the Democrats are staying but that's about all. Texas could send it's law enforcement agents to arrest them but they don't have authority to make arrests in Illinois.

Having the FBI involved is an attempt to intimidate the Texas Democrats into returning but I have a feeling they're not backing down. For a change, when Democrats enter a knife fight they're bringing their knives.
