A federal judge in Texas on Monday temporarily blocked the Biden administration from granting legal status to unauthorized immigrants married to American citizens, granting a request from 16 Republican-led states who challenged the new policy.The order by District Court Judge J. Campbell Barker effectively brings to a halt a large immigration program that opened just last week to an estimated half a million immigrants living in the U.S. without legal status. While preliminary and temporary, the ruling is also an early blow to one of the two major moves taken by President Biden in June on immigration, a top campaign...

15 states sue Biden-Harris administration for enrolling noncitizens in Obamacare

The Biden administration's immigration policy, "Keeping Families Together," has encountered a significant obstacle following a temporary block by a federal judge in Texas. Judge J. Campbell Barker's decision represents a setback for President Biden's immigration agenda which has been a focal point of the 2024 presidential campaign. The ruling comes in response to a lawsuit filed by 16 Republican-led states challenging the policy, which aimed to provide legal status to unauthorized immigrants married to US citizens. The Keeping Families Together program sought to address the situation of undocumented immigrants who have lived in the United States for years without legal status. The policy offered a pathway to temporary work permits and deportation protections through a legal mechanism known as parole. Eligibility criteria included being married to a US citizen, having resided in the country for at least a decade, and passing background checks.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) — After President Joe Biden this summer announced a new U.S. citizenship pathway for immigrant spouses, Oscar Silva rushed to apply and was elated Monday when an email arrived confirming his appointment for a required biometric exam.  But hours later, Silva received a jolt: a federal judge in Texas was temporarily suspending the program that could benefit an estimated 500,000 immigrants in the U.S., freezing in place one of the biggest presidential actions to ease a path to citizenship in years.  “I don’t know what is going to happen,” Silva said Tuesday. The 23-year-old college student arrived in the U.S. as a baby and lives in Texas with his wife, Natalie, an American citizen who provides for their family as a high school teacher. Although the Biden administration’s “Keeping Families Together” program only began accepting applications last week, families and immigration attorneys say confusion, uncertainty and frustration is already mounting following the order by U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker. Couples who already applied say they are in limbo and those who haven’t yet must weigh whether to wait for Republicans’ court challenge over the program to play out.
