Texas-Led 16 States Sue Biden Over Immigration Program for Spouses
Aug 23, 2024, 07:39 PM
Sixteen Republican-led states, spearheaded by Texas, have filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration to block a new immigration program. This program, announced in June, aims to provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants without legal status who are married to U.S. citizens. The lawsuit, filed in the Eastern District of Texas, argues that the administration's 'parole in place' policy is unlawful and incentivizes illegal immigration. The program is part of the Biden administration's 'Keeping Families Together' initiative, which seeks to allow undocumented spouses to remain in the U.S. while applying for legal status. Critics claim the policy bypasses Congress and serves political purposes. The lawsuit is supported by America First Legal and led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. The program could potentially affect nearly half a million immigrants.
