A Bulwark article argues Latino fury at ICE helped Democrats take back Congress: Gina Hinojosa ended Greg Abbott's three terms as Texas governor as its first Latina governor, James Talarico beat Ken Paxton with huge South Texas swings, and Bobby Pulido unseated Rep. Monica De La Cruz. The author reports Latino voters swung hard against MAGA over deportation policy, while consultant Chuck Rocha says ICE, cost of living, and corruption drove his firm's ads, and Minnesota's early Latino vote rose 217 percent.
