( NewsNation ) — A Texas great-grandmother says she was subjected to a raid by state investigators, who questioned her for two hours about her volunteer work helping seniors and veterans vote by mail.
Lidia Martinez, a retired educator and American Legion commander, said Wednesday on NewsNation’s “ CUOMO ” that nine officers from the Texas Attorney General’s Office entered her home around 6 a.m. Aug. 20.
“They pushed the door, and nine officers from the department of the Attorney General rushed in and gave me a search warrant,” Martinez said. “Two of them went into my bedroom and started searching.”
Martinez said she was not allowed to change out of her nightgown and was not read her Miranda rights before being questioned about her voter registration activities.
“I told them, ‘I’m in my nightgown. Let me get dressed.’ They told me, ‘No,’” she told NewsNation.
