Texas Federal Court Pauses Parole in Place (Keeping Families Together) Program
As of August 26, USCIS has paused the granting of Applications for Parole in Place for Noncitizen Spouses and Stepchildren of U.S. Citizens. Due to a court order from the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Texas, USCIS may not approve or adjudicate Form I-131F, PIP applications, although it is still accepting them.
In Texas v. Department of Homeland Security, Case Number 24-cv-306, the court administratively stayed DHS from granting PIP under Keeping Families Together for 14 days. The court may extend the period of this administrative stay for additional periods through mid-October.
The court order resulted from Plaintiff States requesting a temporary restraining order and stay of agency action to roll out the program.
