A federal judge has overturned the Biden administration’s “parole in place” policy, which protected certain undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation and allowed them to work legally while pursuing citizenship. This decision impacts thousands of families who had benefited from this policy, implemented earlier this year.

The ruling states that the executive branch lacks the authority to implement this policy without Congressional approval. With this reversal, protections for nearly 800,000 individuals are now at risk, creating uncertainty for those seeking to regularize their status.

We are closely monitoring how this decision will affect families and its implications under the next administration.
