A Latino advocacy group has called on the US Justice Department to investigate Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton following raids conducted by his office at the homes of Democratic activists and leaders. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) has accused Paxton of attempting to suppress the Latino vote through intimidation and harassment, potentially violating federal civil rights laws.
No charges have been filed as a result of the raids, which were part of an election integrity probe initiated by Paxton's office in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar counties. The investigation stemmed from allegations of election fraud and vote harvesting, referred by a district attorney.
