Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating several Texas school districts for allegedly facilitating student protests against the enforcement of immigration law.

According to a Feb. 16 announcement, the attorney general’s office is demanding documents from the North East Independent School District in San Antonio, the Dallas Independent School District, and Manor Independent School District. His office raised concerns about allegations of faculty orchestrating protests and schools failing to ensure student safety.
