The raid was prompted by allegations of sexual abuse and misconduct and stockpiling of illegal weapons.

[ROBERT RODRIGUEZ] did not return calls, but he told Ain't It Cool News, where the trailer debuted, that he wasn't trying to provoke a "race war," as some critics had suggested. "It's only because of whaf s happened in Arizona that some scenes actually feel at all grounded in reality," he said, "which is pretty nuts and says more about Arizona than any fictional movie. Bob Hudgins, director of the Texas Film Commission, reviews initial scripts, then signs off on the movie's final cut before sjate funds are released. He says Rodriguez has assured him that the Machete trailer had nothing to do with the film set for release in September. "It's hard to prejudge whether it's offensive to Texas because I haven't seen it yet," Hudgins said. "I probably won't see it until August."
