Federal Judge Blocks Biden Administration Immigration Program

It allowed undocumented spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to apply for a green card without having to leave the country first.

A federal judge blocked a policy that the Biden administration attempted to enforce.

The program aimed to make gaining citizenship easier for undocumented immigrants who are married to a U.S. citizen.

It allowed undocumented spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens to apply for a green card without having to leave the country first.

The temporary relief from deportation reportedly gave around 500,000 immigrants a sense of security.

However, the judge ruled that the Biden administration overstepped its authority. It did so by implementing the program that stretches far pass the legal interpretation of immigration laws that are already in place.

The program was one of the significant presidential actions to help immigrant families in years.
