Immigrants prepare for new Biden protections with excitement and concern

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.
