A group of undocumented immigrants and their families is seeking to intervene in a federal lawsuit to defend the Biden administration's "parole in place" program that provides legal relief to undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens.
The program suffered at least a temporary setback on Monday as it was paused by U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker, who alleged in a statement that claims filed by 16 Republican-led states against the program "are substantial and warrant closer consideration than the court has been able to afford to date."
