LULAC Troubles Mount

It has been a whirlwind weekend for one of the largest Latino civil rights organizations in the country. The League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) late on Friday announced that embattled National President Roger Rocha refused to step down after a letter he wrote in support of Donald Trump's immigration principles -- without the knowledge of LULAC’s board or CEO -- set off a series of online protests and calls for Rocha’s resignation. His refusal to step down has led to the resignation of long-time LULAC CEO Brent Wilkes, who had been with the organization for more than 30 years. NBC Latino's Suzanne Gamboa reports that Rocha filed a lawsuit against LULAC, its board, and executive committee and obtained a temporary restraining order from a Texas court, in order to keep the board from impeaching him. On Saturday, the LULAC Board of Directors adopted a motion of no confidence against Rocha. More here.
