A coalition of 16 states led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton have won a lawsuit against the Biden-Harris administration, halting a federal parole program aimed at allowing 1.3 million illegal aliens to remain in the United States.
Known as “parole in place,” the Biden-Harris administration rule unveiled earlier this year gave an avenue for illegal aliens in the country for 10 or more years to receive a grant of parole if the alien is married to a U.S. citizen.
In August, Paxton—represented by America First Legal—sued the Biden-Harris administration claiming that the rule would change the residency status of certain illegal aliens and permit them to remain in the country indefinitely. The lawsuit alleged that this circumvented congressional authority and violated federal law.
