Federal Judge Overturns Biden's Immigration Policy for Spouses

A federal judge has invalidated a Biden administration policy that allowed undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens to obtain green cards without leaving the country. The policy, known as "Keeping Families Together," was challenged by several states led by Texas, arguing it bypassed Congress and imposed financial burdens on states. The ruling, by Judge J. Campbell Barker, appointed under the Trump administration, stated the policy exceeded statutory authority. The Biden administration may appeal the decision, which affects an estimated 500,000 spouses and 50,000 stepchildren.
