The settlement “ends an unnecessary and political lawsuit … one that the city still believes that we would have won, but at continued expense to the city and the taxpayers,” City Manager Erik Walsh said.
Attorney General Ken Paxton accused the city and San Antonio Police Chief William McManus of violating the sanctuary cities law in a pair of lawsuits stemming from a 2017 human trafficking incident.The City of San Antonio and the Texas Attorney General’s Office have settled two lawsuits that stem from a human trafficking incident in 2017.
The city has already spent a combined $6.38 million on the two cases since the Attorney General’s Office launched its investigation in early 2018, said City Attorney Andy Segovia. That figure does not include the $300,000 settlement. The state approached the city before the trial start date to propose a settlement, Segovia said. Dismissal of the cases is pending final review from a district judge and should come in the next 30 to 60 days.
