Judge Upholds Biden's Program Allowing 30,000 Migrants Monthly from 4 Countries into US

A federal judge has dismissed a legal challenge from Republican-led states against the Biden administration's program that allows up to 30,000 asylum-seekers from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. each month on humanitarian grounds. The judge ruled that the states had not shown they suffered financial harm due to the program, which aims to encourage migrants to use preferred pathways into the U.S. The program has granted parole to over 357,000 people since its launch in fall 2022, with Haitians being the largest group. The decision is seen as a win for the Biden administration's immigration policies.

Texas Trial Concludes: Verdict on Biden's Migrant Policy Expected Friday

The trial over President Joe Biden's immigration policy, which allows a limited number of migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds, is set to conclude on Friday. The program, which permits up to 30,000 people per month, is being challenged in a lawsuit filed by Texas and 20 other Republican-leaning states. The U.S. Justice Department argued that the program has helped migrants flee violence and instability, while also reducing strain on resources and border agents. The judge is not expected to rule immediately, and a decision could come months later.

Legal Battle Begins Over Biden's Immigration Policy Allowing Migrants from 4 Countries into the US

A Texas federal courtroom is currently debating a lawsuit filed by 21 Republican-leaning states, led by Texas, seeking to stop a key portion of President Joe Biden's immigration policy that allows a limited number of people from Central America and the Caribbean to enter the U.S. on humanitarian grounds. The program, known as the humanitarian parole program, permits up to 30,000 individuals each month from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. Texas argues that the Biden administration has exceeded its authority, while immigrant rights groups defend the program as a safe pathway for desperate migrants and a means to reduce the humanitarian crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border. The trial is expected to last two days, with a ruling to be issued at a later date.

Court Challenge to Biden's Temporary Legal Status for Thousands in Immigration Policy

A policy implemented by the Biden administration that grants temporary legal status to thousands of individuals from Latin America and the Caribbean is facing a legal challenge from a group of Republican-leaning states. The humanitarian parole program allows up to 30,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the U.S. each month for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit. The program, which requires an online application process, financial sponsorship, and background checks, has admitted nearly 160,000 individuals since its announcement in January. The states argue that the policy is unlawful and will strain their resources, while supporters highlight the positive impact and benefits of the program. The court hearing on the program's legality is set to begin on Thursday.

Biden's immigration policy faces trial over entry of migrants into US

The legality of President Biden's humanitarian parole program, which allows up to 30,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the US monthly, will be determined in a trial this week. The program, aimed at reducing stress on the US-Mexico border, is being challenged by 21 Republican states who claim it is an overreach of presidential power. The Biden administration argues that the program is necessary due to the lack of congressional action on immigration reform. The trial will determine the fate of the program, which has allowed approximately 181,000 people to enter the US since its launch.

Republican Lawsuit Threatens Biden's Immigration Policy, Endangering Thousands Seeking US Entry

A lawsuit filed by 21 Republican-leaning states threatens to end a Biden administration immigration program that allows up to 360,000 people annually from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to enter the US under the humanitarian parole program. The lawsuit argues that the program is an overreach of parole power and undermines the authority of Congress. If the Biden administration loses the lawsuit, it could undermine its broader immigration policy. The administration credits the program with reducing illegal border crossings and argues that it has the power to use humanitarian parole in this way. Immigrant rights groups have joined the legal proceedings to advocate for the program and its impact on sponsors and migrants.
