San Marcos Settles Lawsuit Over "Trump Train" Incident

San Marcos, Texas, has agreed to pay $175,000 to former state Sen. Wendy Davis and three other individuals after a 2020 incident in which a caravan of Trump supporters allegedly harassed a Biden campaign bus. The plaintiffs accused San Marcos law enforcement of ignoring their requests for a police escort and failing to protect them from voter intimidation. As part of the settlement, San Marcos police officers and staff will receive training on responding to political violence and voter intimidation, and the city must issue a public statement. The lawsuit alleged that law enforcement violated the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 by not taking appropriate action to prevent the Trump supporters from intimidating voters.
