Here's the reason:

Wednesday, the entire leadership team for Latinos for Trump was suspended from Twitter, according to a press release.
“On September 18th, Twitter management suspended the accounts for the entire leadership team of Latinos for Trump organization, who operates under Americanos. As a company that claim’s [sic] its purpose is ‘to serve the public conversation,’ the unjustified suspensions of these accounts is not only contrary to their stated purpose, but also silences the voice of a significant minority group,” the release said.
Twitter censorships is a topic with which we are familiar at LauraLoomer.us. The company suspended our own Laura Loomer, who had more than 260,000 followers, last November. The suspension came after Loomer called Muslim Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) “anti-Jewish,” which is demonstrably true. Her ban was facilitated by the Council on American-Islamic Relations’ (CAIR) Zahra Billoo. She is suing both Twitter and CAIR over the ban.

As usual, Twitter provided no reasoning for suspending Latinos for Trump.
“Twitter suspended our user accounts without providing a warning and without providing a reason for the suspension,” the press release said. “We are still conducting an internal review of the situation but have found nothing to justify a suspension. What we have found is the suspect timing and comprehensive nature of the suspensions. These suspension [sic] came in less than 48 hours since President Trump held his rally in New Mexico. During this rally, numerous Hispanic supporters where seen on TV wearing ‘Latinos for Trump’ T-shirts. In less than 48 hours later, all our leadership accounts were suspended by Twitter.”
Interestingly, we reported earlier today that Twitter briefly suspended the account of the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) just days before a large conference in Phoenix, Arizona. The time of that suspension seemed suspicious, too.
Bianca Garcia, the president of Latinos for Trump and the person who signed the press release, called Twitter’s actions “discriminatory,” and claimed that they were behaving secretively.
“Although Twitter claims to enforce their rules ‘impartially and consistently’ and will let someone know “about actions taken against your account and why,” they have not. Although Twitter claims to ‘be transparent about actions we take,’ they have not,” the release said. “We are deeply troubled by the overly secretive and discriminatory actions by Twitter management against our Latino based group. We also invite greater public scrutiny into the troubling actions of Twitter.”
According to the release, the following accounts were suspended: @FabMagaDiva @reallatinos4US @WeAreAmericanos @HispanicTrumpTX @CassieJ_Tx @secureUSA45 @mgtz1995 @Spi3 @Spi3inc @orejitagirl @HenryGrullon4.
Once again, Twitter finds itself facing questions about alleged censorship of conservatives. Though the company claims that it has no political bias, instances of suspensions among conservatives abound. Many of the influencers who rallied their followers in support of President Donald J. Trump in 2016, including Loomer, Milo Yiannopoulos, Alex Jones, and Gavin McInnes, are all permanently banned from the platform.
While Congress and Trump have spoken about taking action to ensure that Big Tech cannot arbitrarily censor conservatives, progress has been slow. In the run up to 2020, it is going to be critical for Trump to have his most ardent supporters, including Latinos for Trump and the aforementioned banned individuals, to be active on social media.
They are an anti-American, anti free speech MONOPOLY, anti trust them NOW!
Just as the deep state has suffered no consequences, and fears no consequences, social media has no reason to stop their censorship, but will increase it exponentially as the election nears.
My thoughts exactly! Another group of “people of color” who dared to leave the plantation created for them by Democrats.
That is the nicest way to say it, but you address an important issue.
In terms of actual accountability, by simply not giving a damn the Dems are failing to perform their civic duty; i.e., they are specifically charged with "giving a damn" about impermissible irregularities. It is a certainty that such failure will continue until higher governmental authority "gives a damn" about such failures and takes appropriate action.
Our votes ought not to be thought of as no more than the means of ridding ourselves of incompetent government, rather it should be understood we vote for individuals who will strive to create a self-operating mechanism - while we go about trying to earn a living and pay taxes.
Twitter will suspend President Trumps account before the election.
No they won’t unless they are stupid enough to kill the goose that lays the golden egg
Without President Trump, twitter would have faded out years ago.
This!!!
ANTI_TRUST NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As bad as govt. regulation is, these communist tech azzhats need to be de-platformed and re-categorized as a public utility and then have the living hell regulated out of em.
Sounds like you are in favor of bigger government
And what happens if the Democrats take over? Then they can dictate how all these companies run. I don’t want to give the deep state anymore power than it already has
Breach of contract.
“This!!!
ANTI_TRUST NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
How about a class action lawsuit by 60 million Americans?
Guess the tech thugs and the intelligence thugs work together for the benefit of the police state...
Twitter should be sued for rights violations by the DoJ

I agree.
We should have an Obamaite, one of many still in the government, make the decisions.
Sounds like discrimination to me.
It would not surprise me if they did. I do know that it is going to get very, very, very dirty and nasty from their side. They are going to pull out all of the stops. They will go for broke. No dirty trick or nasty or violent act will be off the table. Prepare for anything, including attacks on you and your family.
