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.

Ken Paxton is a textbook definition bonafide out-and-out Nazi. Straight up sending the Gestapo to eliminate enemies of the state. He should be removed and jailed for treason, this slimy fucking sack of rotting corpses.

    I’m not defending Paxton or his lackeys in any sense, but this really stood out to me:

    Officers seized 65 cellphones and 41 computers and storage devices [from Manuel Medina, chair of the Tejano Democrats] the filing said.

    Sixty-five cellphones? Who has sixty-five cellphones?

      My understanding is that Medina was politically active on the state rep candidate’s campaign and had likely helped operate phone banks. The kind of operation where you need a lot of phones to dial, and laptops to coordinate.

      Obviously nothing has been confirmed yet because Paxton is being an obstructive nazi piece of shit buuuut
