Cleta Mitchell, the far-right lawyer and anti-voting activist who played a key role in President Donald Trump’s failed bid to subvert the 2020 election, addressed a Capitol Hill rally organized by the right-wing Tea Party Patriots Wednesday, part of an effort to pressure lawmakers to pass the SAVE Act.
“I think we need a Super SAVE Act,” Mitchell told a sparse crowd. “We need to actually strengthen the bill that’s already passed the House.”
Mitchell said the stronger measure should “codify the work that is being done by the Department of Homeland Security, where they will review your voter rolls for free for a state and identify any non-citizens so those can be removed.”
“We need to make it possible for every state to have their voter rolls reviewed to remove non-citizens,” Mitchell added.

- Texas Senator Apologizes for RACIST Comments Unearthed by Democracy Docket
- Date posted
- 9 months ago
- Description
- Texas state Sen. Charles Perry (R) apologized on the Senate floor Tuesday, after Democracy Docket reported last week on racist remarks he made about immigrants at a 2022 legislative hearing.
At the 2022 hearing — Perry’s statement that it was 2021 was incorrect — he suggested the way to deal with immigrants might be to “shoot, shovel and shut up.”
Perry became President Pro Tempore of the Texas Senate in June and chairs key Senate Committees.
In 2017, he authored the anti-immigrant Senate Bill 4 (SB 4) which mandates local law enforcement verify the immigration status of people they detain and cooperate with federal authorities.
Voting rights advocates said the remarks could strengthen legal challenges to the Texas GOP’s newly passed congressional gerrymander, by showing racial animus against Latino voters.
The apology comes after Perry blocked a Democratic filibuster of the GOP’s mid-decade congressional re...

- A Texas Republican’s Suggested Approach to Immigrants? ‘Shoot, Shovel and Shut Up’
- Date posted
- 9 months ago
- Description
- 😳
Sen. Charles Perry, the Texas Republican lawmaker who blocked Democrats’ effort to filibuster the state’s gerrymander, made disturbing comments at a 2022 legislative hearing, suggesting that a way to deal with immigrants is to: “shoot, shovel and shut up.”
The comments could boost the legal challenge to stop the gerrymander by helping to establish a climate of racial animus against Latinos among white legislators, according to voting rights advocates.
Minority voters and voting advocates are asking a federal court to block the newly passed map and order the state to use its 2021 map for the upcoming 2026 election. They argue the new map is racially gerrymandered.
Perry last week blocked state Sen. Carol Alvarado (D)’s attempt to filibuster the vote on Texas’ new congressional map, accusing her of improperly using the filibuster as a fundraising opportunity.
