Federal Court Upholds Immigration Parole Program

A federal judge dismissed a legal challenge against a humanitarian parole program, allowing migrants from four Latin American countries to remain in the U.S..

Federal District Court Judge Drew Tipton ruled that states lack standing to challenge the Biden Administration's immigration parole program for migrants from four Latin American countries.
The program allows migrants from Venezuela, Cuba, Haiti, and Nicaragua to live and work in the U.S. for up to two years with a U.S. resident sponsor.
The ruling is seen as a significant victory for the Biden administration, which has utilized the program to manage migration and reunite families.
Over 357,000 people from the affected countries have arrived in the U.S. since the program's inception, according to federal government data.
The decision is likely to be appealed, but for now, the program continues to offer a legal pathway for migrants seeking safety and opportunity in the U.S.
