Paxton Sues NGO For Aiding Illegal Alien Invasion

Thursday, May 9th, 2024

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton took time out from his busy schedule of suing the Biden Administration to sue an NGO aiding the Biden Administration’s illegal alien invasion.

The legal battle between Attorney General Ken Paxton and the non-governmental organization (NGO) Annunciation House, a nonprofit Catholic charity, has a new development after Paxton stated he has reviewed documents that show the group’s “operations are designed to facilitate illegal border crossings and to conceal illegally present aliens from law enforcement.”

Paxton has filed a temporary injunction in an effort “to halt its systemic criminal conduct in Texas.”

“Any NGO facilitating the unlawful entry of illegal aliens into Texas is undermining the rule of law and potentially jeopardizing the safety and wellbeing of our citizens,” said Paxton in a press release. “All NGOs who are complicit in Joe Biden’s illegal immigration catastrophe and think they are above the law should consider themselves on notice.”

Included in the 585-page legal filing is recorded testimony from an employee with Annunciation House.

According to the filing, Annunciation House’s executive director “regularly admits aliens that it knows came into the country illegally; and chooses not to require any form of identification from its guests.”

Additionally, the director “admitted that Annunciation House refuses essentially any and all law enforcement requests to enter the premises in the absence of a warrant.”

In March, an El Paso judge blocked a previous lawsuit Paxton had filed against Annunciation House. The judge was critical of Paxton’s motivations, stating, “There is a real and credible concern that the attempt to prevent Annunciation House from conducting business in Texas was predetermined.”

“Both the Attorney General and Annunciation House are now obliged to litigate this matter within the guidelines set forth by the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, created to ensure fair play between litigants,” the judge wrote.

Paxton filed the initial lawsuit after Annunciation House did not produce documents and records sought by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). The nonprofit said it was only given “one day to turn over a broad swath of records to the Attorney General without an explanation.”

Founded in 1978, Annunciation House is filed as a 501(c)3 organization, which allows it to be recognized as a nonprofit charitable, religious, or educational organization that receives tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service.

The organization says it has “hosted over 500,000 migrants, refugees, and immigrants from over 40 countries.”

The illegal alien invasion of America is being guided and funded by radical leftwing entities (NGOs and others) in cooperation with the Biden Administration. Ken Paxton and Texas have proven that the states don’t have to take this conspiracy to break the law lying down.
