Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has sued Harris County for directing over a million taxpayer dollars for the defense of illegal immigrants facing deportation.

“We must stop the left-wing radicals who are robbing Texans to prevent illegals from being deported by the Trump Administration,” Paxton wrote in a press release. “Beyond just being blatantly unconstitutional, this is evil and wicked. Millions upon millions of illegals invaded America during the last administration, and they must be sent back to where they came from.”
