A few years ago some republican state legislators fled Oregon to prevent a quorum for some vote, and the governor was either threatening to send or sent State police to round them up.

Ultimately that scenario also used threat of State violence and "arrest" to force an unfavorable legislative outcome.

Though admittedly in the West we aren't so brazen as to use the military for such ends. Instead we'll just threaten to release the footage from the coke orgies that Madison Crawford talked about shortly before the Republican party "coincidentally" pulled all funding and support from his re-election campaign.
