SAN ANTONIO — In the three weeks since Texas’ attorney general executed raids at the homes of several Latino election activists, the state’s oldest civil rights organization has been marshaling members to step up voter registration for what they say is a stand against voter suppression.

A contingent of LULAC members and other Hispanic activists attended the hearing in support of Medina.
Texas LULAC President Gabriel Rosales said in a phone interview that along with the fear, the raids “kind of lit a fire from Hispanics around Texas.
“Councils have been doubling their efforts to engage Latino voters across Texas and across the country,” Proaño said.
