Washington-Texas and 15 countries on Friday submitted an action before the Federal Supreme Court to block the program of the bidet management, which protects long-term undocumented persons who are married to US citizens, are married before deportation and granted them a way to citizenship.
States in the lawsuit, which was submitted to the United States for the eastern district of Texas, argue that the Ministry of Homeland Security has illegally created the program and that these 16 states are financially damaged by its implementation.
“The long -term federal law prohibits aliens who have joined the United States, illegal to receive most immigration services,” the lawsuit said. “This includes obtaining a lawful constant resident status without leaving the United States and the necessary time outside the United States too waiting-based on an approved family-based or work-based visa petition.”
The other states in the lawsuit include Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wyoming.
The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to the request from States Newsroom for comments.
Applications for the program, which is known as probation, opened this week.
The bidet management has created the program because a non -citizen in accordance with the applicable US Immigration Act, if they are not admitted to the country without permission, are not approved for permanent legal status and then leave the United States and then through a Green Card application from its US employee, which is a lengthy process that can take years.
American First Legal represents the states. The organization was founded by the former Trump consultant Stephen Miller, the architect of the former president's hard-line immigration policy.
The program is a one-off campaign and applies to long-term undocumented people who are married to US citizens.
It is estimated that around 500,000 spouses without citizens and their children are entitled to apply for a lawful permanent residence – a green card – under certain requirements. It is expected that it includes around 50,000 children who are not citizens and have a parent married to a US citizen with a migration background.
These qualifications include that a non -State member must have lived in the United States for 10 years from Monday, June 17, 2024 and must also be married to a US citizen since this date. This spouse, who is not a citizen, cannot be seen as a security threat either.
