Judge Blocks Biden's Immigration Program for Undocumented Spouses

A Texas federal judge has struck down the Biden administration's "Parole in Place" program, which aimed to expedite permanent residency for illegal migrants married to U.S. citizens. The ruling, following a lawsuit by 16 Republican-led states, deemed the program illegal, arguing it exceeded statutory authority and incentivized illegal immigration. The program was expected to benefit around 500,000 spouses and 50,000 non-citizen children, but without it, non-citizen spouses may face long waits outside the U.S. for residency benefits.

Court Overturns Biden's Immigration Program for Undocumented Spouses

A federal judge has struck down the Biden administration's 'parole in place' policy, which provided legal status and deportation protection to certain undocumented spouses and stepchildren of US citizens. The policy, challenged by Texas and 15 other states, was deemed beyond the executive branch's authority by US District Judge J. Campbell Barker. This decision affects an estimated 750,000 to 800,000 people and is part of broader legal challenges to Biden's immigration policies.
