Judge Texas AG's Bid to Silence Immigrant Rights Group

Court rules in favor of FIEL Houston, allowing it to continue political advocacy against prominent Republicans and immigration policies.

Texas AG Ken Paxton's petition to shut down FIEL Houston was rejected by Harris County District Judge R. K. Sandill.
Paxton accused the group of inappropriate political involvement for criticizing Trump, Governor Abbott, and Senate Bill 4.
FIEL Houston's legal team argued the group's actions were protected under free speech rights.
Paxton has also targeted other immigrant aid organizations, accusing them of aiding illegal immigration.
The ruling is seen as a defense of First Amendment rights for nonprofit organizations.
