Texas AG Takes Legal Action Against Annunciation House for Alleged Illegal Immigration Encouragement
TL;DR
The Attorney General's office demanded immediate release of extensive documentation about immigrant clients from Annunciation House, a Catholic nonprofit operating shelters in El Paso, leading to a lawsuit from the nonprofit seeking a court ruling on which documents to hand over. In response, Attorney General Ken Paxton sued the organization for non-compliance, accusing them of worsening illegal immigration. The nonprofit's lawyer criticized Paxton's aggressive approach, while the state argued for revoking the nonprofit's Texas registration due to non-compliance. The hearing on these matters is scheduled to take place before March 7.
