Texas AG sues county for funding nonprofit groups that help migrants in court
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing a Texas county for giving money to nonprofit organizations that provide legal services for migrants facing deportation from the United States.
Paxton on Monday filed a lawsuit against Harris County Commissioners Court for approving $1.3 million last month for its Immigrant Legal Services Fund Program, which provides money to nonprofits that represent migrants pro bono in court.
Harris County is home to Houston.
The fund was created in 2020, but Paxton says in the lawsuit it is illegal and violates the state’s constitution by giving public funds to private entities to defend migrants accused of being in the country illegally.
In the latest episode of Border Report Live, South Texas Correspondent Sandra Sanchez breaks down what Paxton wants. And El Paso Correspondent Julian Resendiz talks about a new disturbing crime trend in Mexico of women being burned and set on fire, and why Colombia has suspended cooperation with the United States over drugs.
