The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) wants a federal investigation into raids Texas Attorney General conducted last week in San Antonio and South Texas as part of what his office called an ongoing probe into 'election integrity.
Paxton's 'election integrity' probe largely targeted Latinos, including a Texas House candidate and an 80-year-old who registers people to vote, LULAC said.
During a Monday press conference, LULAC officials said the raids are a bid by the Republican law-enforcement official to suppress the vote ahead of November's election. The warrants largely targeted Latinos — some of them elderly — who work to mobilize voters, the civil-rights group alleges. LULAC officials said they're asking the U.S. Justice Department and FBI to examine whether Paxton's actions violated the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965. They also want authorities to determine whether the raids — which included the three-hour interrogation of a great-grandmother who works to register veterans and senior citizens to vote — constitute elder abuse.
Paxton also dispatched law enforcement officials to raid the home of Cecilia Castellano, a Democrat running for the Texas House's 80th District, according to LULAC. Those personnel also confiscated Castellano's phone as they executed the warrant. "It became apparent that this was yet another attempt by Ken Paxton and his associates to harass and intimidate individuals for their own political gain," Castellano said at the press conference.
