Wednesday’s ruling is the second time a Texas judge has ruled against the attorney general for investigating shelters helping migrants.

The nonprofit is the target of an investigation by the Texas Attorney General's office, which has accused border charities that help migrants of illegally harboring undocumented immigrants.— a weekly dispatch about the people, places and policies defining Texas, produced by Texas Tribune journalists living in communities across the state.
Catholic Charities, a nonprofit that provides food, shelter and other basic necessities to asylum seekers, people experiencing homelessness and others in need, said it has not violated any laws and the attorney general’s office has not presented any evidence to the contrary. Federal law also provides anyone who enters the country the right to request asylum. Migrants who cross the border in the Rio Grande Valley and have been allowed to remain in the country while awaiting an asylum hearing are delivered by U.S Customs and Border Protection to the Catholic Charities respite center in McAllen.
