Texas Latino voters who backed Trump in 2024 are turning on Republicans over ICE raids and grocery prices, strategists say

A poll taken from 15 to 19 October puts Democrat James Talarico 30 points ahead of Republican Ken Paxton among Hispanic voters in the US Senate race, 64 per cent to 34. The overall contest is tied at 49 per cent with less than two weeks to go. Hispanic Texans backed Joe Biden by 25 points in 2020 but Donald Trump by one point in 2024. Four of the five seats Republicans redrew last year were majority Hispanic.

Governor Greg Abbott said the redrawn seats 'happen to be Hispanic Republican districts'.

Texas accounted for roughly a third of all US ICE arrests in July 2026.

'Cowboy Priest' Roy Snipes told worshippers there is 'no good excuse' to deport 'poor, good folks'.
