Deadline Approaches for Implementation of Parole in Place, Immigration Benefit for Half a Million Migrants
This week marks the expiration of the 14-day pause on the implementation of the immigration program known as Parole in Place, a measure that could benefit approximately half a million migrants married to U.S. citizens. The initiative would allow undocumented immigrants to obtain temporary residency without needing to leave the country.

The program, which was temporarily suspended on August 26, has been the subject of litigation brought by 16 states, led by Texas. The plaintiffs argue that the federal government bypassed Congress in creating the program, claiming that it could incentivize illegal immigration. The lawsuit has delayed the implementation of the benefit, leaving applicants in uncertainty.
During this 14-day pause, no new applications have been processed, although cases continue to be received by the Department of Homeland Security. If implemented, the program would allow applicants to obtain a temporary work permit and potentially apply for permanent residency within three years.
As the temporary suspension period comes to an end, a decision on the future of the Parole in Place program is expected in the coming days. This ruling is highly anticipated by thousands of families seeking to regularize their immigration status.
