Texas Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton is facing accusations he is using his office to suppress Latino voters in the state. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the country's oldest Latino civil rights group, is calling on the Justice Department to investigate Paxton over a series of police raids on the homes of LULAC members, state lawmakers and other community leaders in the San Antonio area last week. Previously, Paxton had tried and failed to shut down the Houston-based and immigrant-led civil rights group Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en la Lucha (FIEL) by claiming it engaged in electioneering. We're joined by the director of FIEL, Cesar Espinosa, and the CEO of LULAC, Juan Proaño, who both share how their organizations have been impacted by the attorney general's harassment and intimidation. Proaño calls the targeting of Latino leaders and organizations a pattern of "blatant discrimination" and says, "We see these as tactics essentially for Republicans to stay in control of the government in Texas."

It’s said that if voting mattered, it wouldn’t be legal; but if it doesn’t matter, why is there such an extreme effort to prevent it for certain people? VOTE!!!
For people like me, it was illegal for a long time. People died for me to vote. I won't relinquish that gift of power.
@@kahlilbt For my ancestors as well.
( Republicans MUST PUT TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE, that's why!)
@@menudobucket9837 Oh, you mean the DEAD, the ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, or how about the UNREGISTERED. NEVER trust a demonic rat. Especially the idiots in this administration. I have NEVER seen such a WEAPONIZED ADMINISTRATION and MEDIA. The Democrats even cause ELECTION INTERFERENCE on their own. Hell, they just tried to pay WEST off. Check out that interview.
Americans need democracy, to correct rounding errors and legit mistakes, To represent. Not pose in tri-corner tea bag stapled hats repeating lies they couldnt take 5 minutes to skeptically research.
Regardless of color voter intimidation and suppression criminal. Texas politics is what happens when money buys power. These actions by an AG are terrifying and unjustified. Vote! Vote like our lives depend on it.
They do.
Because itt really does.
Money, hell. This is white supremacy.
I’m Texan and unfortunately Republicans have always been able to count on the Latino vote here. They have helped put us where we’re at. Hopefully they will now see they don’t have their best interest.
What happened with innocent until proven guilty. Somebody says something so you rough them up and tear up their home. Is this the US or Russia
Our US Attorney General needs to act immediately! This is unacceptable.

Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position,” the 81-year-president claimed during an exchange on immigration.
The National Border Patrol Council refuted Biden’s claim mid-debate. The overdose death rate for 14- to 18-year-olds now stands at 5.2 deaths per 100,000, researchers report in the New England Journal of Medicine. Essentially, the U.S. teen death count from drug ODs equals a high school classroom felled each week, researchers saiAt least five experts review and edit each Original Article or Special Article manuscript published by NEJM. Of thousands of research reports submitted each year, less than 5% are eventually published by NEJM.Biden said. “We significantly increased the number of asylum officers. By the way, the Border Patrol endorsed me, endorsed my position.”
However, the National Border Patrol Council (NBPC) quickly took to X to rebuke the assertion.
To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden,” NBPCVice President Kamala Harris’s decision to visit the border city of El Paso, Texas, on Friday will keep her 800 miles away from the region that is seeing more than double the normal amount of illegal immigration.
Lawmakers who have begged Harris for months to visit the U.S.-Mexico border are unhappy about the White House’s plans not to visit the Rio Grande Valley. Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar of Texas called the move a “politically safe trip.”
“I’m sure her planners told her that if you’re going to go down to the border, go to something that’s safer to go to, that is, politically safer,” Cuellar told Fox News in an interview Thursday morning. “The epicenter is down there in the Lower Rio Grande, the lower part of my district down there. If you look at the numbers that are down there compared to El Paso, you’re not going to get a true picture of what’s happening
This is unacceptable!
Lol. He's a republican. Good luck with that.
Absolutely they r performing sadistic acts ... It has to be stopped if we want the Creator to allow us this world!! Fact
Paxton should be indicted and sentenced with voter suppression and intimidation of LULAC members!
Come on Texas voters. You can do better than this.
Juan Proano and Cesar Espinosa thank you for your important work. Please continue to fight for the rights of Latin people 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼❤️❤️❤️
I hope she sues for harassment and intimidation and wins! What a corrupt and despicable man, vote him out.
Hahahaha ok

I live in Texas. I pray that Texas will vote Blue up and down the ballot 🗳 💙 We need to defeat Paxton, Governor Abbott, and Lt Governor Patrick and all the Republicans in the House and Senate
What a load of bs . Here we have Americans in helping illegal immigration . What is wrong with you people ? Your loyalty should be to America and the American people only . Helping people from other nations come to America and get rights that only should be for the American people only . You love illegal immigrants leave America and go help them in their country . Just the Idea than an 87 year old American woman has deficated her whole life helping people come from other nations and give them comfort in our nation so they can later give them rights that belong to the american people makes me so upset . She is an American that should have spent her life helping the American born and legal American citizens of America not help people come to use America and take rights and places that belong to the American people only . Anti American people like this we do not need in America . How dare she do for none Americans in America over the American people . I use love LULAC until I found out they do for none Americans I only and not for the American people this action is so disgusting for me . Americans should be helping American only and first always . Let the people from other countries demand and ask for help from their country not ours . All programs in America created in America should only be used on the American people not nobody else . This is our country and should not be considered a country for everyone else from all over the world to take what should only be given to the American born and American citizens of America . If you help other countries people in America instead of helping the American people of America you are anti American and should not be allowed to live in America . I don't care if your born in America your just taking advantage of your position as a so called America to help others that do not belong in our country while you back stab the American people on the back . Unacceptable !
He can’t be voted out. Call on the federal government to investigate him.
The fact that Paxton thinks that he can do this so brazenly, goes to show how he feels backed by the Republicans in Texas. Any other would've been thrown in jail instead of being allowed to do community service.
Tekkksas
He already ditched a criminal case because this body looked the other way, I’m sure he feels untouchable.
DeSantis got away with it in Florida raiding the home of a woman for putting out true numbers of Covid deaths, not exactly the same but these republicans are emboldened
Stop calling them Republicans, they are MAGA.
Well He has been given the licence to behave above the law because Trump thinks and and his Republican backers can do whatever they want. They don't believe that rules and laws apply to them too. In other words, Trump believes he can be corrupt, act like a thug, be lawless, and he gets away with it. Paxton is the same, a thug.
And they have audacity to complain about government over reach! The GOP in Texas is insanely out of control!
If it's dirty & cruel, it's the GOP. VOTE 💙
I'm not GOP but I'm definitely voting ORANGE in 2024..........gotta stop the 💙damage.
This is what republicans mean by going back to the old times by intimidating minorities and sway by using government power and fear. Thank you to all the individuals that stood their ground and especially the elderly. Your strength is a blessing.

As Donald Trump tries to distance his campaign from Project 2025, those behind the right-wing policy blueprint to remake the U.S. government continue to brag in private about their close ties to the Republican presidential nominee and how they intend to push a radical right-wing agenda in a second Trump administration. In July, Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought met with two people he believed to be relatives of a wealthy conservative donor interested in funding the effort. In fact, he was meeting with two reporters with the U.K.-based Centre for Climate Reporting as part of an undercover sting captured on video. Over the course of two hours, Vought described Trump's disavowal of Project 2025 as mere theater and laid out plans for mass deportations, restricting abortion, gutting independent government bureaucracies, using the military against racial justice protesters and more. The secret plans are "designed to ensure that this kind of radical agenda that the conservative movement has in the U.S. can be implemented from day one," says Lawrence Carter, founder and director of the Centre for Climate Reporting and one of the reporters who spoke with Vought. "They want to make sure that the mistakes from the first Trump administration, as they see them, where not much got done, are avoided this time around."

The aides and a Texas court bizarrely "settled" with, local newspaper reported, payouts, to his former aides.
Paxton, who is TX's AG, got a law degree from Virginia School of Law, was ordered by a Judge to take classes to learn about the law he was accused of violating by his aides....
As a plain ol citizen, how would you have faired under similar charges?
Recently Paxton attempted to censor and shut down a Catholic non-profit that works with legitimate immigrants.

@@GladiolaGirl Ah, the old race card canard. What about the illegal treatment of the J6 political prisoners? What about the fining and jailing of anti-abortion protesters? What about the illegal imprisonment of Derek Chauvin? The illegal prosecution of Daniel Perry recently pardoned?
for what?
Shameful criminal behavior on the part of the TX Attorney General.
17:26 listen I am all four people coming to this country legally but what is going on is the illegal immigrants that are coming into our country to cause harm or being helped by these individuals nobody sees it except for the attorney general
LULAC is a subversive anti-American unpatriotic organization.

Paxton, stop being a bum and look it up yourself.
The entire government of Texas should be facing RICO charges.
Our country is declining. We are an embarrassment on the global stage.
So much injustice and, unconditional hate from that hateful dude.😮😮
DOJ needs to start an investigation ASAP …. This is outrageous
for what?
@@Curt-Gevert why?
I agree that the DOJ needs to start an investigation asap, into their own corruption starting with merrick garland 😊
For your harrassment.@@Curt-Gevert
DOJ KNOWS WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!
BE AWARE:
NEVER TALK...
ALWAYS DEMAND YOUR LAWYER BE PRESENT!!!
If that happened to
Republican can you imagine the crying.
Please let this disgusting behaviour be the end of Ted Cruz. Pretty please!
This has hints of Hitler and the NAZI party during the late 1930’s. Whoever is tied into this needs to face the consequences!! I have a good idea of who stuck their hands in the cookie jar!

I’m from New York but when I see the republican shenanigans in TX I think it’s a preview of what another Trump presidency would look like and I want no part of that. The only thing TX has going for it that I envy is Jasmine Crockett. That woman is a national treasure and will probably run for president herself one day💙💙💙
For Texans, keep up the good fight. The rest of the country sees what those clowns are doing and it’s so wrong. I live in Upstate NY and am very proud of the melting pot that is NYC. If it wasn’t for NYC our state would be as red as yours. Call your boards of election and make sure you haven’t been purged from the voting rolls. 💙💙💙
My Texas brown and black people vote hard! Republicans are scared y’all are about to turn that state Blue! Stay Strong safe and steady ❤
Go home child
Minorities are 60% of the population in Texas, Making them the Majority! VOTE BLUE!
I am a Black American and I will never vote for a Democrat who support slavery, voted against civil rights and abolishment of slavery. You Hispanic wanted to be White and found out that White Americans don't hang with you like that. When Trump gets elected: mass deportation, correction of the 14th amendment (for slaves named as citizens, not illegal aliens having babies), USCIS to go through records to investigate for fraudulent green cards and citizenship gained unlawfully and Regan's granting amnesty is unconstitutional. We want our country back. Trump 2024!!!
@@Monarch2 got evidence?? Or just more MAGA NONsense??
Stop harrassing.@@Soma81
LULAC please fight for these illegal raids against these leaders in the San Antonio area and Lidia Martinez. Protect them please!!!
I am a Texan and am appalled Paxton went these extreme measures. Paxton needs to go to Jail and needs to go to jail, now. Hate the 3 stooges, Abbott, Paxton and Patrick and what the people of Texas have allowed them to do to what was once a great state.
That sounds illegal.
Not if you read more credible news sources

investigate Ken Paxton
why?
Texan here. My voters registration is [ in suspense, but will not bar voting] at poll.
Without any change of address, confirmation of voting identity inquiry, felony conviction, charge, or criminal offense reason to bar or differ me from voting or any "inalienable" rights.
I have a hard copy screen shot print of what the .gov website stated.
Also the TX Voters Registration website, alledges to allow for online registration, but actually requires hard copy snail mail, or in person copy(?) but delivered ...where?
I believe voter fraud is happening.
My fam in San Antonio also
He needs to be put in prison.

It is despicable what the GOP is trying to do on all fronts. 💙
who signed off on these search warrants? I am so sick of my state turning more and more into a police state. Paxton should have been jailed years ago.
This is what Fascism looks like!
Exactly and if people even white people don't believe this can happen to them they are sadly mistaken.
why?

If you choose not to know why.
@@sassysaint3096 It's a simple question. What is fascism? todays definition is everyone who disagrees with them is a fascist. Explain it, what is it?
@@Curt-Gevert
A Authoritarian government ruled by one person.
Fascism's extreme authoritarianism and nationalism often manifest as a belief in racial purity or a master race, usually blended with some variant of racism or discrimination against a demonized "Other", such as Jews, homosexuals, transgender people, ethnic minorities, or immigrants.
Fascism is alive and well in the GOP.

Waste of tax money and time. Wake up, Texas.

As I understand it, he is very popular, so good luck.
Republicans have gerrymandered the districts so unfairly that it's almost a given he will be reelected despite having the minority of votes. It's clear voter suppression yet nothing is being done about it.
5664, you live a sheltered life in denial. Texas is friendly, not stupid.
@@randomwalksatellite Specify by federal statutes or state ones what law was violated, by AG Paxton.
State offices are not where officials violate constitutional rights til thwarted by law practice.
If public civil service is too tough a job. They get fired, impeached, or..honorably.. they resign.
Which are Texans denied liberties & most obstructed, unlawfully, by: how law is represented as a profession...or an ethical oath duty?
Abbott & Paxton should resign and, conservatively, save Texans tax dollars they are wasting, misusing, and abusing offices, have already lost and misappropriated law expenses, in the law they are defacto oathed to respect, to their job duties Objectivity, not party salicious abuse.
invading of privacy is breaking the law.
Paxton needs an indictment
Texas vote all Republicans, especially Ted Cruz out of office. Now is the time to rid your great state of MEGA garbage. You deserve better. Vote blue up and down the ballot. 💙💙🇺🇲💙💙

Turn this state blue! This is outrageous
THIS is definitely a case that should be investigated by DOJ. What is DOJ therefore, if not to stand up for decent hard-working individuals who are being intimidated, bullied, financially ruined, reputation ruined by persons in authority.
Are you talking about the DOJ that sends teams of thugs to break down doors of parents who dare ask questions at school board meetings? Of course DN never reports on this kind of thuggery.
