Legal Question in Criminal Law in Illinois

I've plead the fifth as a witness to an assault. Police have arrested my husband and are holding him for questioning. Since I have plead the fifth officials are upset and have threatened to issue a warrant for my arrest. Are they allowed to issue a warrant because I do not want to talk or be a witness?

Stick to your guns. YOU HAVE AN ABSOLUTE RIGHT NOT TO TESTIFY. DO NOT LET THEM BULLY YOU. Do not let them intimidate you. They can take you into custody and try all of their triained techniques on you, but you do not have to say a word. Be strong! Refuse to say anything! Tell them that I advised you and give them my name! I dare any one of them to even call me!~
