Forget the whole “I was a stranger and you welcomed me” from the Bible, Republican Texas Greg Abbott and his posse of Republican thugs have targeted a Catholic organization that runs shelters and soup kitchens frequently used by undocumented migrants, CBS News reports.
Spearheaded by cockeyed Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton, the harassment against the Annunciation House accuses the group of “illegal alien harboring and operation of a stash house,” when in fact, the organization frequently works with immigration authorities to help ease overcrowding at nearby facilities.
Founded in 1978, Annunciation House runs at least three facilities to help feed, house and care for migrants. In 2022, one of its facilities that could accommodate 1,500 migrants was forced to shut down.
