Hearing from a Lulac member whose home was raided during a search authorized by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Now, the A GS office says it's investigating alleged election fraud and efforts to register non citizens to vote. Now, Lulac, the largest Latino civil rights organization wants a federal investigation of the Attorney General Omar via Franca is in San Antonio with the latest. It is evident through his patterns of lawsuits, raids, searches and seizures that he is trying to keep Latinos from voting members of the league of United Latin American citizens had strong words for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Monday. I just have a message for that. Attorney General. You can come get me, you can do whatever the hell you think you wanna do with me, but we're gonna fight back. It comes after Paxton announced an investigation last week into allegations of election fraud and vote harvesting which began. And in 2022 the Attorney General's office said it had uncovered enough evidence to obtain search warrants which they executed last Tuesday across three different counties. Lulac denies any wrongdoing. The organization sent a letter to the Justice department first obtained by CBS news asking it to conduct an investigation into the attorney general's actions. Calling them quote a serious violation of the civil rights of Latino citizens. They scared the hell out of me. Seven year old Lydia Martinez says she was among those targeted by the search warrants. The long time Lulac member helped senior citizens register to vote. I feel that they're going to stop a lot of us from going out and doing our work and that's what they want. She said officers questioned her for hours, confiscated her phone and computer and made her wait outside as they searched her home. I said, let me get dressed and she says, go outside. What were you wearing my nightgown? And I had all these policemen around me. It was embarrassing humiliating. I was so angry. It was horrible. Lydia Martinez says she's been involved in politics for decades and that she's never been involved in any voter fraud. We reached out to Attorney General Patton's office for comment but did not hear back via a CBS news. San Antonio Texas.
