#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.

Yep.
Know how we know that...??
Cause anytime you launch a bonafide undercover op, you *always* announce it beforehand.
Obviously red meat for the base.
