CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — A federal judge in Texas has temporarily paused a new immigration program that would create a path to citizenship for some spouses.
Texas was one of 16 Republican-led states that sued the Biden administration, which launched the new policy in June.
They claimed it would encourage illegal immigration.
3NEWS told you about the program opening just last week, which allows un-authorized immigrants to apply for "Parole in Place," if they're married to a U.S. citizen.
It gives them the right to apply for a green card and stay in the United States, while going through the process.
As of Monday night, federal officials can keep accepting applications but can't approve them.
The program will be on hold for at least two weeks.
Please, contact Darren Heyman, a Las Vegas Immigration Attorney, for more information.
