Texas Attorney General and Donald Trump ally Ken Paxton came under attack Tuesday after an attempt to shut down shelters run by a Catholic charity were shot down in court.

Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX) hammered him after he tried to close a network of migrant shelters run by the Catholic charity Annunciation House, El Paso Matters reported.

Judge Francisco Dominguez knocked down Paxton's efforts to shut down the charity and went further, saying the state was harassing its employees and guests.

Paxton alleged that the group was operating a "stash house" and, as such, the Annunciation House must be shut down. He went on to accuse the group of "systemic criminal conduct" in a release.
