The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) is urging a federal investigation into Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's recent election integrity operations, which they argue disproportionately targeted Latino communities.
These operations included raids on the homes of Latino individuals, including a Texas House candidate and an 80-year-old voter registration activist, raising concerns about voter suppression and intimidation. Latino leaders and civil rights advocates have condemned these actions as an abuse of power aimed at depressing Latino voter turnout under the guise of election integrity.
The controversy highlights ongoing tensions in Texas over voting rights and the conduct of the state's attorney general.
