Federal Judge Overturns Biden's Immigration Program for Spouses

A federal judge has declared the Biden administration's Keeping Families Together program illegal, which aimed to provide legal status to unauthorized immigrants married to U.S. citizens. The ruling, by Judge J. Campbell Barker, aligns with a lawsuit from Texas and other Republican-led states, arguing the program violates immigration law. This decision is a setback for Biden's immigration policies, as the incoming Trump administration plans to dismantle them. The program intended to offer work permits and a path to citizenship without requiring immigrants to leave the U.S., but the judge ruled the administration lacked the authority to grant such benefits.
