"Texas AG's Lawsuit Against Catholic Migrant Aid Organization Sparks Local and National Reaction"

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against the Catholic migrant aid organization Annunciation House, alleging "human smuggling" and threatening to terminate its right to operate in Texas. The nonprofit, which provides humanitarian assistance to migrants, has been accused of running an "illegal stash house" by Paxton, as part of Texas Governor Greg Abbott's broader crackdown on immigration and border communities. The lawsuit has sparked concerns about the implications for churches, hospitals, and other organizations providing similar assistance, and has been criticized by local religious leaders and advocates as an attempt to intimidate and politicize humanitarian efforts.
