President Trump and Republicans made big inroads with Hispanic voters in Texas last year. Now, a newly approved redistricting plan will test whether those gains are locked in for good.

Hopefully ICE going after anyone with brown skin including legal residents and citizens, terrorizing the community, is changing their minds.

I'm sure all the Latinos getting profiled by masked gestapo thugs as they try to drive to the grocery store to buy 100% inflated groceries will all be eager to keep this going. Hell of a bet, TX GOP.

All it should take is one of them or a loved one to be profiled by ICE to have them turn their backs on Trump once and for all. Then again, the MAGA cult members seem to have a special brand of self-sabotage and a lack of situational awareness necessary for self-preservation.
