A Texas judge has ruled in favor of a large migrant shelter on the U.S.-Mexico border that Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking to shut down over claims that the facility encourages migrants to enter the U.S. illegally.

A Texas judge on Monday ruled in favor of a large migrant shelter on the U.S.-Mexico border that is seeking to shield records from Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is seeking to shut down the facility over claims it encourages migrants to enter the country illegally.

The order by Judge Francisco X. Dominguez of El Paso keeps Annunciation House — which for decades has been one of Texas’ largest border shelters for migrants — from having to immediately turn over internal documents that Paxton’s office demanded last month.

Dominguez criticized Paxton and accused him of running “roughshod” over the shelter “without regard to due process or fair play.”

    Another case of Big Government Republicans in Texas trying to get into everyone’s business.

        Yes, and always has been. That hasn’t stopped Texas from complaining loudly about things. Things that the other border states don’t seem to be having similar issues with. So… is it actually a border issue like they keep claiming? Or is it a Texas issue?

      Or, in Ken Paxton’s case anyway, a Little PeePee 'Publican pissing on everybody around him.
