Immigrant families file motion to defend Biden program as Republican states sue

Writer's picture: K. HeymanK. Heyman

A group of undocumented immigrants and their families is seeking to intervene in federal court to defend a new Biden administration program from a lawsuit by 16 Republican-led states. 

The program, which the White House named Keeping Families Together, offers a form of legal relief known as “parole in place” to an estimated half-million undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens, allowing them to more easily apply for permanent residency and citizenship. The Republican states, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to end the program.

In response, six undocumented immigrants who stand to benefit from parole in place, alongside their U.S. citizen spouses, filed a motion Monday seeking to join the government in defending the program in federal court. They are joined in their motion by the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, a Los Angeles-based nonprofit group.
