"Judge Affirms Biden's Program Granting Short-Term Legal Status to Certain Immigrants"

A federal judge has upheld the Biden administration's program that provides temporary legal status to citizens of Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, despite opposition from Texas and other Republican-led states. The program aims to discourage illegal crossings at the southern U.S. border, and the judge's decision noted a significant decrease in border crossings by nationals from the included countries. This ruling is seen as a victory for the White House and a setback for Texas in its efforts to influence immigration policy.
