Take Action to Support Migrant Ministry under Threat
February 26th, 2024
The Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is suing Annunciation House in El Paso, a network of migrant shelters that has been in operation for almost 50 years, and aims to shut it down. Paxton’s legal action appears to be part of a broader Republican push to target Catholic nonprofits serving migrants at the border amid an effort to make immigration a key 2024 election campaign issue.
Maryknoll’s Office for Global Concerns provides a way to show solidarity to Annunciation House and to send a message to the attorney general. Interested in more information, click here and here.
