Texas Judge Orders Temporary Halt on Biden Program for Immigrant Spouses
Aug 27, 2024, 12:13 AM
A federal judge in Tyler, Texas has ordered a temporary pause on a Biden administration program that offers legal status to immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens. The decision was made by the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas following a lawsuit led by a coalition of 14 states, including Texas, against the Department of Homeland Security. The program, described as an executive amnesty initiative, aimed to provide a path to citizenship for over one million individuals. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has been a vocal opponent of the program, arguing that it incentivizes illegal immigration.
