The lawsuit targets a $1.3 million fund established in 2020, arguing it violates the states constitution. Paxton claims the county is unlawfully funding private entities to defend illegal immigrants, stating the practice is blatantly unconstitutional. The lawsuit could set a precedent for how counties address immigration-related issues.
