Texas Judge Blocks Attorney General's Attempt to Obtain Records from Migrant Shelter
TL;DR Summary
A judge has ruled against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his legal battle with the nonprofit Annunciation House, which helps migrants, stating that Paxton's administrative subpoena is trumped by Texas' rules of civil procedure about discovery. The dispute began when Paxton's office ordered the nonprofit to turn over documents within one day, alleging "alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house." The judge questioned Paxton's true motivation and ordered both parties to litigate within the guidelines of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure.
