Federal Judge Strikes Down Biden’s Immigration Program for Spouses of U.S. Citizens
A federal judge has struck down the Biden administration’s “Keeping Families Together” program, which aimed to streamline the path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens. The ruling, which was based on a lawsuit filed by Texas and other Republican-led states, found the program violated U.S. immigration law. The program would have allowed eligible immigrants to apply for a green card without having to leave the country, effectively cancelling out their illegal entry. This ruling is a major setback for the Biden administration and is likely to be further challenged by the incoming Trump administration, which has pledged to dismantle the president’s immigration policies.
