Ken Paxton talks tough on the border — but behind the scenes, he was cutting checks to some of the most radical organizations in Texas.
Over $7 million in taxpayer-funded grants from Paxton’s Office of the Attorney General (OAG) went to groups that:
Help illegal immigrants fight deportation
Train clients how to resist ICE
Oppose Governor Abbott’s border security operationProvide DEI training
Offer gender ideology programs for kids as young as 7
And the worst part? Ken Paxton could’ve stopped it. Instead, he paid for it.
Provides legal aid to illegal immigrants, works in detention centers, and instructs people on how to avoid ICE compliance.
Paxton gave them 67 grants, then later announced an investigation into them for “facilitating the invasion” at the border.
Runs the “ICE Out of Austin” campaign, opposes deportation, and called for the end of Gov. Abbott’s Operation Lone Star.
Also, publicly mobilized volunteers against the Trump administration.
Supports policies that weaken border enforcement and advocates to eliminate barriers to migration.
Runs the “Beyond Borders” campaign opposing federal immigration laws.
Offers legal support to non-citizens, undocumented immigrants, and asylum applicants.
Represents illegal immigrants in deportation and asylum cases.
Received 173 grants from Paxton’s office.
Offers gender-affirming care programs for children as young as seven, funded through OAG grants.
Advocates for immigration policies that separate police from ICE and weaken federal-local cooperation.
While Paxton’s office funded these groups:
He claimed to oppose sanctuary cities and amnesty
He said groups helping illegal immigrants were “facilitating the invasion”
He sued NGOs his office helped fund
He joined Trump’s deportation agreement… but gave grants to groups fighting it
