Texas AG Ken Paxton Seeks to Oust San Antonio Police Chief

[TexasTowelie]

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's legal battle against San Antonio Police Chief William McManus and the city's top leadership has entered a new phase, with Paxton filing court papers seeking to strip McManus of his job.

In a petition filed last month in a state district court in San Antonio, Paxton alleges that McManus has violated state law by failing to turn over to federal immigration agents immigrants suspected of being in the country illegally.

Paxton has been tangling with McManus and San Antonio in a state district court in Austin since November 2018 over the Alamo City's handling of immigrants suspected of being in the United States illegally. In that lawsuit, Paxton accused McManus of violations of a new state law targeting what conservative critics call "sanctuary cities" for suspect immigrants. The pending lawsuit seeks millions of dollars in damages.

San Antonio City Attorney Andy Segovia describes the latest petition as frivolous and a transparent attempt by Paxton to distract the public from his own legal woes.
