Court Overturns Biden's Immigration Protection for Spouses

TL;DR Summary
A federal judge has struck down a Biden administration program designed to help undocumented immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens apply for green cards without leaving the country. The initiative, which was temporarily halted in August, was deemed an overreach of executive authority by Judge J. Campbell Barker. The decision adds uncertainty for immigrant families, especially with Donald Trump's recent election victory and his promises of mass deportation. The program faced legal challenges from Texas and other Republican-led states, arguing it bypassed Congress and imposed costs on states.
