The state of Texas is accusing a Catholic charity of being a 'stash house' for migrants. But the shelter says it is simply helping desperate people in need.
El Paso, Texas — Prayer is paramount at the Annunciation House, a network of shelters in this Texas border city that has been housing and feeding destitute migrants for nearly half a century.At one of the Catholic charity's shelters, several migrants, most of them families with children, huddled for a prayer before enjoying hearty meals cooked by a group of American volunteers. The hungry migrants thanked God for the food, and prayed for those still trying to reach the U.S.
In their legal filings, Texas officials said the Annunciation House has helped not only migrants released by federal immigration agents, but also those who entered the country illegally without being processed.Earlier this month, state Judge Francisco Dominguez denied Texas' request to shut down Annunciation House and imposed requirements on any future documents requests from Paxton's office.
