Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has asked a state judge to shut down a nonprofit organization that operates a network of shelters in Texas, alleging that the organization appears to be facilitating illegal border crossings and human smuggling.
The Republican attorney general began investigating the Catholic nonprofit Annunciation House earlier this month over potential violations of state law. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) issued a Feb. 7 “request to examine” the nonprofit’s records, including documents detailing what services it provides to immigrants who are in the country legally or illegally.
According to Mr. Paxton, Annunciation House refused to turn over any documents and sued his office soon after, seeking to halt his efforts to obtain their records. On Tuesday, Feb. 20, Mr. Paxton announced he is asserting a counterclaim, seeking to shut down Annunciation House’s operations within the state entirely.
“OAG has complete and unlimited authority to examine business records to ensure that entities operating within the state are doing so lawfully. And the consequence of a flagrant failure to comply with such a request is that OAG may terminate the business’s right to operate in Texas,” Mr. Paxton’s office said in a press statement on Tuesday. “The OAG lawsuit seeks to revoke Annunciation House’s authorization to do business in Texas and asks the court to appoint a receiver to liquidate their assets.”
In his legal filings, Mr. Paxton states his initial request to inspect Annunciation House’s records “was not made in a vacuum.” Rather, he alleges state investigators had been monitoring the “unusually covert way” Annunciation House operates.

I was about to say that it isn’t just the Catholic church....Methodists, and a lot of others are in on it, too.
