A federal judge in Texas has struck down a policy aimed at allowing undocumented spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to stay in the country instead of being deported while waiting for green card status.

The so-called “parole in place” policy was announced by President Joe Biden in June, and the “Keeping Families Together” program was implemented on Aug. 19. According to U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services, the purpose was to allow “certain noncitizen spouses and noncitizen stepchildren of U.S. citizens to request parole in place” and avoid deportation. Specifically, it allowed spouses and stepchildren to stay in the U.S. while applying for Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status, instead of leaving the country and seeking an immigrant visa, waiting for approval — which could potentially take years — in their home country.
