A federal judge has struck down a Biden administration policy that would have allowed undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens to apply for a green card without having to leave the country. The program, known as “Keeping Families Together,” aimed to provide temporary relief from deportation for an estimated 500,000 immigrants. The judge ruled that the administration had overstepped its authority by implementing the program. The policy was widely criticized by Republicans, who argued that it would draw more migrants to the U.S. and create costs for their states. The decision is a significant blow to immigrant families, who are now facing increased uncertainty about their legal status in the U.S.
