Texas Judge Strikes Down Biden's Program, Impacting 1 Million Undocumented Spouses

Nov 8, 2024, 02:03 AM

A federal judge in Texas has struck down the Biden administration's 'Keeping Families Together' program, which aimed to provide a pathway to U.S. citizenship for hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants married to American citizens. The decision deals a major blow to an estimated one million undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens who would have benefited from the program. The ruling may keep the program blocked through President Biden's final months in office. The lawsuit was brought by America First Legal in conjunction with a coalition of 14 states, including Texas and Idaho.
