EL PASO — A state judge admonished a lawyer for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton during a court hearing Thursday, saying that he is worried that the state’s investigation into an El Paso migrant shelter may be politically motivated.
District Court Judge Francisco Dominguez of El Paso made his comments during a hearing on whether Annunciation House, a network of migrant shelters, has to hand over documents the attorney general has demanded. Dominguez interrupted Ryan Baasch, a Texas assistant attorney general, during his closing arguments to dispute the state’s characterization of its investigation.
