On October 23, 2024, the Supreme Court dismissed an effort by GOP-led states to uphold President Biden's stricter asylum regulations, enabling the administration to pursue a more lenient agreement with immigrant rights advocates. This decision follows a ruling from the 9th Circuit Court, which found that the federal government's previous practice of denying entry to migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border, once a daily cap on asylum applications was reached, violated federal immigration law. The 9th Circuit's 2-1 decision highlighted the rights of thousands of asylum seekers who were refused entry to the U.S. to claim protection from persecution in their home countries. Additionally, mixed-status immigrant families are now required to justify their intervention in a case supporting a Biden administration parole program after a previous appeal was denied. The Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights has also requested the Supreme Court to lift a procedural freeze imposed by a Texas judge on Biden's Keeping Families Together program, which permits certain relatives of U.S. citizens to remain in the country while applying for a Green Card.

Mixed-status immigrant families must show why they shouldn't be punished for trying to intervene in a case to support a Biden administration parole program after an appeals court previously turned them down. https://t.co/7RFSc0ysQ0
