LULAC Demands DOJ Probe Into Texas AG Raids

The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is demanding a federal investigation into Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office following raids on the homes of several Democrats and Latino activists in connection with vote harvesting allegations. LULAC officials, along with state legislators and activists, have accused Paxton of voter suppression and intimidation aimed at Latinos. The raids focused on accusations of illegal vote collection practices during the 2022 elections, specifically targeting individuals associated with Democratic state house candidate Cecilia Castellano. Despite the raids and the confiscation of electronic devices, no charges have been filed. Critics argue that these actions are politically motivated tactics to suppress Latino voters and influence the upcoming elections. LULAC is calling for the Department of Justice to investigate potential Voting Rights Act violations by Paxton’s office.
