LULAC member describes Paxton voter fraud raid

>>> WELCOME BACK TO "AMERICA DECIDES." >>> AN 87-YEAR-OLD WOMAN WHO SAYS HER HOME WAS RAIDED BY OFFICIALS AS A PART OF A TEXAS ATTORNEY GENERAL'S INVESTIGATION OF VOTER FRAUD TELLS CBS NEWS THOSE OPERATIONS "SCARED THE OUT OF HER." OLIVIA MARTINEZ, A LONGTIME MEMBER SAYS OFFICERS QUESTIONED HER FOR HOURS, CONFISCATED HER PHONE AND COMPUTER AND MADE HER WAIT OUTSIDE WHILE SEARCHING HER RESIDENCE. >> I SAID LET ME GET DRESSED. THEY SAID GO OUTSIDE. >> WHAT WERE YOU WEARING? >> MY NIGHTGOWN. I HAD ALL THESE POLICEMAN AROUND ME. IT WAS EMBARRASSING, HUMILIATING. I WAS SO ANGRY. IT WAS HORRIBLE. >> TEXAS REPUBLICAN ATTORNEY GENERAL SAID LAST WEEK IT IS INVESTIGATING WHAT WERE ALLEGATIONS THAT SOME ORGANIZATIONS IN TEXAS HAVE, IN THE PAST, UNLAWFULLY REGISTERED NONCITIZENS TO VOTE OR ENGAGED AS BOAT HARVESTING. PAXTON'S OFFICE HAS NOT RESPONDED TO CLAIMS THAT THESE SEARCHES ARE ILLEGAL OR ITS DEMANDS TO THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT TO INVESTIGATE THE TAXES OF THE INVESTIGATORS. LYDIA CAVAZOS IS IN SAN ANTONIO AND JOINS US NOW. YOU ARE WITH MARIA VONGOR OMAR VILLAFRANCA. >> MAJOR, GOOD AFTERNOON. YESTERDAY, WHEN WE WERE ABLE TO TALK TO THE 87-YEAR-OLD WOMAN OUT OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS. WE LEARNED THAT PART OF WHAT WAS CONFISCATED DURING THE RAID LAST WEEK WAS HER VOTER CERTIFICATE, VOTER REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE. THIS IS A LICENSE THAT OFFICIALLY ALLOWS HER TO HELP OUT OTHER PEOPLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS. THIS IS PART OF HER PROFESSION. THIS IS WHAT SHE DEDICATES HER FREE TIME TO. HELPING OUT SENIOR CITIZENS AND VETERANS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS BECAUSE SHE SAYS SHE DOES NOT NECESSARILY HAVE A DATE AS TO WHEN SHE WILL BE GETTING HER THINGS BACK INCLUDING HER LICENSE, HER PHONE, HER COMPUTER. EVERYTHING THAT WAS CONFISCATED. THIS LIMITS HER ABILITY TO CONTINUE TO WORK IN THE STATE OF TEXAS AND SHE SAYS THIS ABOVE ALL IS ONE OF THE MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENTS. SHE DOES NOT NECESSARILY KNOW IF SHE'S GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THIS BEFORE ELECTION DAY IN 2024. >> DID SHE ADDRESS TO SAY THE UNDERLYING INVESTED CHADORI ALLEGATIONS THAT SHE SOMEHOW DID SOMETHING WRONG? DID SHE ADDRESS WHAT THE CONCERNS ARE AND WHAT HER CONDUCT HAS BEEN? >> WHAT'S REALLY MISSING FOR OTHERS THAT WE'VE BEEN SPEAKING TO ON THE GROUND IS WHY? THEY DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW WHY THEY WERE TARGETED. WHY THEY WERE PART OF THIS AND WHAT RELATIONSHIP WHATSOEVER THEY HAVE TO THIS INVESTIGATION. WE KNOW THAT ALL OF THIS IS PART OF THE ELECTION INTEGRITY UNIT FROM PAXTON'S OFFICE AND THIS WAS A UNIT THAT WAS CREATED BACK IN 2020. IN THE AFTERMATH OF TRUMP'S LAWS AND CLAIMING WIDESPREAD VOTER FRAUD ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS. IF THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GATHER THEIR STUFF BACK AND HAVE IT IN TIME TO CONTINUE DOING THE WORK THAT THEY WERE DOING AS COMMUNITY LEADERS IN SAN ANTONIO. >> WORTH NOTING THAT THOSE ALLEGATIONS OF WIDESPREAD NATIONAL VOTER FRAUD IN 2020 WERE NEVER LEGALLY SUBSTANTIATED. CBS NEWS FIRST OBTAINED A LETTER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. WHAT DOES IT REVEAL? >> IN THIS LETTER THAT CBS OBTAINED, LULAC ASKED FOR A FEDERAL INVESTIGATION TO INVESTIGATE PAXTON'S OFFICE AS THEY ARE CLAIMING THESE SEARCHES ARE UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND IT IS VOTER INTIMIDATION. ON ONE SIDE, OF COURSE, WE HAVE CLAIMS THAT THIS IS POTENTIAL VOTER FRAUD BUT THIS IS JUST ANOTHER TACTIC FROM PAXTON'S OFFICE IN EFFORTS TO INTIMIDATE VOTERS AND TO UNDERMINED THE ROLE THAT LATINO VOTERS WILL HAVE IN THE STATE OF TEXAS FOR GENERAL ELECTIONS AND RACES
