LULAC files historic lawsuit to defend voting rights from executive overreach threatening America’s Democracy

By MosaicNAZ March 31, 2025local, newsNo Comments

WASHINGTON, D.C. — The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) announced the filing of a federal lawsuit Monday challenging an executive order issued by President Donald Trump that seeks to impose sweeping and unlawful changes to the administration of U.S. elections. The lawsuit defends the right to vote for all American citizens. It states the executive order strips away long-standing protections for fair and free elections. The executive order mandates proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and limits mail-in voting with unrealistic deadlines. It directs federal agencies to police state voter rolls that threaten to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters, including veterans, students, seniors, and Latino citizens. More than 21 million Americans cannot access the additional documents required to register to vote under the purported rules of this executive order. "LULAC is taking this legal action not to oppose any individual or party but to uphold the sacred principles that define our democracy," said LULAC National President and Chairman Roman Palomares. "The right to vote is not a partisan issue. It is the foundation of our republic and must be protected against any attempt—no matter how powerful the source—that seeks to undermine it."
