Dallas attorney Domingo Garcia was elected president of the League of United Latin American Citizens, the nation's oldest Latino civil rights organization. Garcia's win means he now has the task of rebranding an organization that many grass-roots activists have labeled as outdated. LULAC also finds itself trying to repair its image among many Latinos after outgoing president Roger Rocha offered LULAC's full support to President Donald Trump and his administration's efforts to substantially reduce legal immigration and to increase border security. Garcia said he was encouraged by others to run for LULAC's highest post because of his work on civil rights and immigration reform. He said he hopes his commitment to pro-immigrant policies will restore public confidence in LULAC.
