The raids have triggered outrage and cries of voter suppression in a state with a long history of discrimination against citizens of Mexican descent, which helped give rise to LULAC.
Did you see Paxton's name in that sentence?

Good grief. The intial referral was from the DA, but Paxton's office issued the warrants:
Latino advocacy group wants federal investigation of Texas AG over home searches tied to voter fraud probewww.cnn.com
A prominent Latino advocacy group asked the US Justice Department on Monday to investigate Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton after his office launched a series of raids the group says was at the homes of Democratic activists and leaders on allegations tied to voter fraud.
So far no charges have been filed as a result of last week's raids. Paxton's office said search warrants were executed in Frio, Atascosa, and Bexar counties as part of what his office described as an election integrity probe dating back to 2022.
In a release last week, the attorney general's office said its election integrity unit was investigating a referral from Audrey Louis, the district attorney in the state's 81st judicial district, involving allegations of election fraud and vote harvesting.

In 2022, the Election Integrity Unit received a referral from the 81st Judicial District Attorney Audrey Louis regarding allegations of election fraud and vote harvesting that occurred during the 2022 elections. The subsequent two-year investigation provided sufficient evidence to obtain the search warrants in furtherance of the ongoing investigation.
