Ken Paxton accuses Annunciation House of covering up human smuggling.Ken Paxton, the Republican attorney general of Texas, is going after a non-governmental organization for allegedly stoking the crisis at the United States’ southern border.
In a 65-page legal filing publicized Tuesday, Paxton’s office accused Annunciation House of facilitating unlawful entry into the U.S., harboring illegal aliens, human smuggling, and operating a stash house.
Annunciation House, which has operated several shelters in El Paso for years, describes itself on its website as a Catholic nonprofit intent on aiding illegal aliens “through hospitality, advocacy, and education.”
“The chaos at the southern border has created an environment where NGOs, funded with taxpayer money from the Biden Administration, facilitate astonishing horrors including human smuggling,” Paxton noted in the lawsuit’s press release.
“While the federal government perpetuates the lawlessness destroying this country, my office works day in and day out to hold these organizations responsible for worsening illegal immigration,” he added.
