A federal judge has ruled against President Joe Biden's immigration policy that protected certain undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens from deportation.
The policy, which aimed to promote family unity in mixed-status households, was challenged by Texas and 15 other states. This ruling is a significant setback for the Biden administration, as it could prevent the program from being reinstated during Biden's remaining time in office.
The decision adds to the ongoing legal battles over immigration policies in the U.S.
