The warrant ordered the seizure of all electronic devices at her home, allowed for the opening of documents that were business-, organization- or election-related, and authorized swabbing for DNA.

Fear. The point is to establish fear. And also a nice government Registry of some "inconvenient" liberals to be dealt with later.

Judges in Texas are elected. They can just be random political stooges with no particular concern for the law.
