Judge rejects Biden’s legalization program for immigrant spouses

Biden announced the program in June before dropping out of the presidential race and paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to face Donald Trump, an immigration hardliner.

A U.S. judge in Texas on Thursday ruled against President Joe Biden’s program offering a path to citizenship for certain immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens, a blow that could keep the program blocked through Biden’s final months in office.
