A Texas judge has blocked the state’s attempts to compel a deposition from a representative of a charity that aids illegal immigrants who cross the Texas-Mexico border.

On July 24, District Judge J.R. Flores ruled in favor of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley (CCRGV), which pushed back against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s efforts to gather information under oath.
