Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has launched an investigation into 30 North Texas businesses, including Tekpro IT LLC and Virat Solutions Inc., for alleged H-1B visa fraud. The businesses are suspected of running 'ghost offices' with no H-1B workers, prompting Paxton to take legal action.

Paxton announced the investigation on social media, thanking Texas journalist and whistleblower Sara Gonzales for her efforts in exposing H-1B fraud.

Immigration attorneys Rahul Reddy and Emily Neumann have reacted to the investigation, with Reddy stating that it is 'all about the election' and Neumann saying that Paxton is 'racing to the bottom' on immigration issues.

The attorneys also questioned the allegations, with Neumann noting that H-1B workers are often hired for client sites and may not be present at the office address listed on the Labor Condition Application (LCA).

The investigation is expected to continue, with Paxton facing election pressure as he races against John Cornyn for the Senate. The immediate next steps in the investigation are not clear, but the Attorney General's office is likely to provide updates in the coming days.
