A prominent Latino voting organization is calling on the Justice Department to investigate a series of raids held across Texas last week as part an ongoing election fraud investigation led by the state's controversial attorney general, Ken Paxton.


The raids targeted prominent Democrats and election volunteers -- including some in their late 80s -- according to a spokesperson for the League of United Latin American Citizens, or LULAC, at a press conference on Monday.


Investigators allegedly confiscated cell phones, computers, and other records, according to LULAC officials.

Among those targeted in the raids was Lydia Martinez, an 80-year-old retired teacher who lives in San Antonio, who "was removed from her home in her night gown and made to wait outside in full view of her neighbors and the general public, causing great humiliation and discomfort," said LULAC president Roman Palomares at the Monday press conference.


"Lydia's devices, personal calendar, and voter registration materials were confiscated, and she was coerced into providing her passwords under the threat of delayed return of her property," LULAC said in its letter to the Justice Department.


Speaking to ABC News on Tuesday, LULAC CEO Juan Proaño called the raids "baseless."


"There's no merit to it at all. There's no evidence that was actually provided, even to the judge when they received these warrants. They're baseless," Proaño said of the allegations. "We know for a fact, certainly as it relates to our members, that there is nothing at all to substantiate any voter harvesting, any voter fraud at all."
