A federal judge on Thursday struck down the Biden administration’s “parole in place” policy that would have given legal status to certain undocumented individuals who are married to US citizens who have been been here for more than 10 years.
US District Judge J. Campbell Barker had previously put an administrative hold on the regulation, rolled out earlier this year by President Biden, as the judge considered the lawsuit brought by Texas and 15 other states. The policy shielded select undocumented spouses of US citizens from deportation and allowed them to work legally in the country as they sought citizenship.
The administration will likely appeal the ruling. Stay tuned for more updates and details.
