“A federal judge in Texas on Monday ordered a pause on a new policy from the Biden administration that would make it easier for Americans’ spouses and children who lack necessary documentation to gain legal [sic] status. U.S. District Judge J. Campbell Barker issued an administrative stay on the program, known as ‘Keeping Families Together,’ just days after Texas and 15 other GOP-led states sued the Biden administration for the policy. … Barker noted the order is not equal to ‘any ultimate conclusions about the success or likely success’ of the plaintiff’s claims but rather is a ‘first-blush’ review of the claims following a preliminary screening.” [editor’s note: The US Constitution says there’s no such thing as “illegal” status for immigrants in the first place – TLK] (08/26/24)
