LA JOYA - The director of the La Joya Housing Authority says a federal investigation into his businesses may have been politically motivated.

"It gets pretty dirty, they'll use whatever they want to distract the voters and trying to change, outcome (sic)," Juan Jose Garza said.

Federal agents raided Garza's home and office on Wednesday. Garza said he is baffled by the investigation.

Garza also serves as a La Joya ISD board member.

Garza said he doesn't know what agents from the Inspector General's Office were trying to find at his home and office.

"I can't think of anything that I must have done that I should be worried about. I don't know. I don't know exactly what it is that they're looking for," Garza said.

Agents first raided his home. He said that is where he has the office for his personal business - J. Builders and Crane Construction.
