EL PASO — An El Paso judge heard arguments Monday from a lawyer in Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office who claims that a migrant shelter is violating state law by providing shelter to suspected undocumented immigrants and refusing to turn over records the state is seeking. Assistant Attorney General Rob Farquharson told state district Judge Francisco Dominguez that Annunciation House should be shut down for the violations.
