Oregon Senate Republicans were nowhere to be found Friday morning when Senate President Peter Courtney called the Senate into session, and then – when a quorum was not present – announced a recess. That means that Democrats can leave the Senate floor, which Courtney did not allow them to do on Thursday, when Republicans confirmed they were leave the state to avoid providing quorum for a vote on the climate bill they’re fighting.

Courtney said he will call the Senate into session on a rolling basis throughout the day, a practice used to “compel” Republicans to return to the floor.

Lawmakers have been told that they’ll gather for brief periods in the Senate chamber at 10 a.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. They’ve also been told to stay within one hour’s drive of the state Capitol until the situation is resolved.

On Thursday evening, Oregon State Police confirmed that they are receiving help from “out of state resources” to help convince state lawmakers to return. However, they did not elaborate, beyond saying that there’s no current plan to arrest and cuff Senate Republicans if they are found.

Several members of the Three Percenters of Oregon, a group that joined in the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge takeover in 2016, chimed in on various social media posts that they would provide security for Oregon Senators. The group also announced plans for a rally at the Capitol this weekend.

Paul Lurhs, who identifies himself on Facebook as a Linn County Lead for the Oregon III%, wrote that the group had “vowed to provide security, transportation and refuge for those Senators in need... We will stand together with unwavering resolve, doing whatever it takes to keep these Senators to safe."

Kate Gillem, a spokeswoman for the Oregon Senate Republicans, responded Friday that Oregon lawmakers aren’t interested in the offers for assistance.

“The Senators are not with any militias,” she said, “and are not accepting their help.”
