‘Speculative hearsay’: Federal judge rejects 2nd Texas request to block Syrian refugeesA Texas federal judge has denied the state’s request for a restraining order to block entry to Syrian refugees. The court ruled the evidence provided by Texas Attorney General was “largely speculative hearsay.” In his second request made on behalf of Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Attorney General Kenneth Paxton argued that “terrorists could have infiltrated” the refugee program and could commit acts of terrorism.
