The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) has condemned recent raids by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office, which targeted the homes of several Latino activists, including an 80-year-old great-grandmother, Lidia Martinez, as part of an investigation into alleged voter fraud. LULAC claims these actions constitute voter intimidation and an infringement on civil rights, asserting that the raids were aimed at suppressing Latino voter turnout ahead of the 2024 elections. The organization plans to formally request a federal investigation into Paxton's tactics, arguing that the searches were unjustified and that their members were merely promoting civic engagement. Paxton's office insists that the raids were based on a two-year investigation into potential illegal voter registrations, claiming that they were necessary to ensure electoral integrity. Critics argue that the timing and nature of these operations are politically motivated, designed to intimidate and silence Latino voices in the electoral process. LULAC has expressed its commitment to fighting back against these measures and protecting the voting rights of the Latino community.
