     #LULAC is accusing #KenPaxton's office of carrying out #illegal searches premised on voter fraud.

     "These actions echo a troubling history of #VoterSuppression & #intimidation that has long targeted both #Black & #Latino communities, particularly in states like #Texas, where #demographic changes have increasingly shifted the #political landscape," LULAC CEO Juan Proaño & the group's national president, Roman Palomares, said in the letter.

     Last week, #KenPaxton's office announced in a press release that it was launching undercover operations & an investigation into reports alleging some orgs in #Texas are unlawfully registering noncitizens to #vote, in violation of state & federal #law.

     #LULAC ofcls told CBS that some of the group's TX members were targeted & had their laptops & cell phones confiscated by TX authorities executing search warrants. Some of the raids focused on #Latino #activists across the state.
