The AG’s office sought to question the leader of Team Brownsville, which provides water, shelter and basic necessities to asylum-seeking migrants.
EAGLE PASS — A Travis County judge has denied an effort from Attorney General Ken Paxton ’s office to question the leader of a Brownsville organization that provides migrants with humanitarian aid, delivering the state’s top civil lawyer another courtroom defeat in a series of actions targeting groups that work with migrants and immigrants. Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of the 459th Civil District Court denied a request from Paxton’s office to take the deposition of a Team Brownsville representative.
Aron Thorn, a lawyer with the Beyond Borders Program at the Texas Civil Rights Project, said the group was “proud” to represent Team Brownsville. “We are thrilled with the judge’s ruling denying this baseless petition,” Thorn said in a statement. “Organizations like Team Brownsville provide essential services to people seeking safety at the border. They fill a critical need in Texas border communities that are unable to care for immigrants.
