SAN ANTONIO — Raids on the homes of several Democrats in South Texas, in what the state attorney general said is an ongoing election integrity investigation, has set off a showdown with the nation’s oldest Latino civil rights group.
The Aug. 20 raids targeted Manuel Medina, chair of the Tejano Democrats, several members of the League of United Latin American Citizens, a state House candidate and a local area mayor.
The raids have triggered outrage and accusations of voter suppression in a state with a long history of discrimination against its citizens of Mexican descent, which gave rise to LULAC in 1929.

“This is point blank voter intimidation, and LULAC will fight for the right of every Latino to exercise the right to vote,” said Roman Palomares, LULAC's national president.
A copy of a wide-ranging search warrant left with one of the people targeted, LULAC volunteer Lidia Martinez, 87, of San Antonio, offered a window into the investigation’s interests. The warrant ordered the seizure of all electronic devices at her home, allowed for the opening of documents that were business-, organization- or election-related, and authorized swabbing for DNA. According to the warrant, the purpose of the search was to look for evidence of violations of the Texas election laws regarding vote harvesting and identity fraud.

In his filing requesting the injunction, Medina's attorney said authorities seized almost 65 cell phones and 41 computers, digital and other storage devices, papers, documents and family and other photographs.

The left equates "right to vote" with "right to create as many fake ballots as needed to win".
It appears that Medina may have been operating a "ballot" boiler room. It will be interesting to follow this case to see what evidence is uncovered.
From the article:
“Paxton falsely claimed that immigrants were being given Social Security numbers at the border as part of the scheme, too. There’s no evidence of that, or that noncitizens cast ballots in any significant numbers.”
If the media doesn’t look at evidence, then obviously it doesn’t exist. That’s how they got away with saying there was no fraud in the 2020 election.
More proof the democrat base are criminals and communists.
That headline makes me want to puke.
“Heroic Merrick Garland raids right wing lawyers for defending J6 seditionists.”
They must have suspected they might be planning to vote for Trump
Oops! Texas AG... not FBI... nevermind. lol
“ or that noncitizens cast ballots in any significant numbers.”
One is too many.

.....
Family and friends cellphone plan different in a Latino home?
As long as they are citizens.
So much to unpack with this story. Starting with:
How many smartphones and computers do you have in your house?

Medina’s home was also “forcibly entered” in the early morning of Aug. 20.
Officers seized 65 cellphones and 41 computers and storage devices, the filing said.
Medina’s attorney was granted his request for an injunction to block the attorney general or any other state officials from reviewing the documents or disseminating them. A hearing on the search and seizures was set for Sept. 12.

Citizens of what country?
This is what I was hoping for. If they find incriminating messages, release them instantly and put everyone else on notice.
Me thinks they protest too much.
Is that better?
I guess they're saying they're citizens of Latin America.
That's easy. They won't have a problem being sent home.
It’s not voter suppression if the individual isn’t a (legal) voter. Cannot suppress what doesn’t exist.
Right? :)
Significant numbers or not..it’s Illegal.
And we know the numbers are large.
No red wave, but Republicans continue inroads into long-Democratic South Texas Nov. 10, 2022
Check the voter rolls too. A bunch of those Valley Boys left for better job opportunities a while back.
Now go after La Leche League. They have been signing up women voters in Texas for over half a century.
Those cell phones and computers are likely to show a pattern of election misdoings....
