President Joe Biden decried a ruling that temporarily blocked a new administration program that would have offered legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants, endangering a key policy goal the administration announced in June to balance restrictions earlier this year to speed the deportation of recent arrivals entering the country illegally.
The ruling by a federal judge in Texas suspended “parole in place,” a program intended to provide legal status to family members of US citizens in the country illegally. Under the proposal, immigrants who have been in the US for at least 10 years could seek deportation protection and work permits without having to leave the country, which the White House argued would help preserve family units.
