Biden admin sued by 16 states over parole push for illegal immigrants with US spouses
Fox News
More than a dozen Republican-led states are suing the Biden administration over its parole in place for illegal immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens.
The states argue that the rule violates federal law, which prohibits illegal immigrants from obtaining immigration benefits, including permanent status, without first having left the country and being readmitted. They argue it does that by an unlawful use of parole, which is limited to use on a "case-by-case basis for urgent humanitarian reasons or significant public benefit."
