Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has filed a lawsuit against a Houston-based immigrants' rights organization, FIEL, claiming that the group violated federal rules for nonprofits by criticizing former President Donald Trump, Republican Governor Greg Abbott and a new state immigration law.
Paxton's lawsuit, filed a month ago in the 127th Harris County District Court, sought to shut down the organization founded in 2007. FIEL, which stands for Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en la Lucha (or Immigrant Families and Students in the Fight), is run by immigrants and provides education, social and legal services to immigrant families in the Houston area, as per Texas Tribune.
