♲ @joyce_donahue@diasp.org:Texas AG tries to shut down non-profit that assists wounded and ill migrants

Inspired by Oscar Romero, assisted by his Catholic diocese, Reuben Garcia of Annunciation House in El Paso cares for migrants who need extra help (including some who have been granted humanitarian parole and allowed medical care), - but Texas thinks he's sheltering the undocumented.
Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) is asking a judge to shut down Garcia’s Annunciation House shelters and force him to turn over all of his organization’s records — including the names of people he is housing. Garcia has refused, setting up a legal battle between the state of Texas and a religious leader whose work is key to the federal government’s management of border crossings and who has drawn praise from the highest echelons of the Catholic Church.

  This Catholic leader shelters migrants. Texas says he runs ‘stash houses.’
  
  Ruben Garcia founded Annunciation House to shelter the neediest immigrants — the undocumented. Texas officials say his work encourages illegal migration.
