America First Legal, a non-profit founded by Stephen Miller, has submitted a brief to the Texas Supreme Court defending Attorney General Ken Paxton's effort to shut down Annunciation House, a Catholic shelter in El Paso that assists asylum seekers. Miller, set to serve as White House deputy chief of staff for policy under President Trump, argues that organizations like Annunciation House encourage illegal border crossings and undermine American sovereignty. This development comes amid growing Republican criticism of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) along the border, which have long provided assistance to migrants. Paxton has accused Annunciation House of operating as a 'stash house' and participating in human smuggling. A judge previously deemed Paxton's actions 'outrageous' and stated they violated state religious freedom laws.
