A judge is protecting a migrant aid group in Texas from some questions from the Texas Attorney General's Office.

The State of Texas is investigating groups that help migrants to determine if they're planning and facilitating the illegal transportation of immigrants across the border.

Attorney General Ken Paxton's office wanted to question the head of the group "Team Brownsville" as part of that investigation, but a judge has ruled the group is not required to take part in depositions related to that investigation.

Team Brownsville provides food and shelter to asylum seekers entering the U.S. There was a similar ruling in favor of another aid group, Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley in July.
