Another Texas migrant aid group asks a judge to push back on investigation by Republican AG

A prominent aid group along the U.S.-Mexico border is asking a Texas judge to push back on a widening Republican-led investigation into nonprofits that help migrants. Attorneys for Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande on Wednesday sought to block efforts by state investigators to depose one of the organization's leaders. Catholic Charities provides temporary shelter and food to as many as 2,000 migrants a day when border crossings are high. The organization has denied accusations from conservative Texas officials that it is helping migrants enter the country illegally. The group's executive director said Wednesday that she was glad Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley had a chance to present its case in court.
