Judge Issues Restraining Order Against Texas Nonprofit For Helping AWOL Dems

A Texas judge on Friday ruled against Beto O’Rourke and his nonprofit in a case brought by state Attorney General Ken Paxton, accusing them of illegally raising funds to support Democratic lawmakers who fled the state to block GOP redistricting legislation.

Tarrant County District Judge Megan Fahey issued a temporary restraining order Friday evening against O’Rourke, a former congressman and Democratic presidential candidate, and his group, Powered by People, over what she called “unlawful fundraising practices” tied to efforts to back Texas Democrats who left the state — including funding air travel, lodging, logistics and daily fines, Fox News reported.

“Defendants have and will continue to engage in unlawful fundraising practices and utilization of political funds in a manner that either directly violates or causes Texas Democratic Legislators to violate [the law],” Fahey wrote in her ruling. “Consumers have and continue to suffer irreparable harm through these unlawful acts because they are making political contributions that are being used to fund personal expenses and violate state law.”
