The Attorney General of Oklahoma has filed a brief opposing a new immigration process aimed at keeping families together, as reported by KGOU. The process, known as the “parole in place” policy, allows certain undocumented immigrants who are spouses, parents, or children of U.S. citizens to stay in the country while they apply for legal status. This policy was put in place by the Obama administration and has been upheld by courts across the country.
The Attorney General argues that the policy violates federal law and undermines the nation’s immigration system. He claims that the policy grants de facto legal status to undocumented immigrants without proper authorization from Congress. Additionally, he argues that the policy goes against the Trump administration’s efforts to enforce strict immigration laws.
The brief filed by the Attorney General is part of a larger legal battle over the parole in place policy. The policy has faced challenges from several states, including Texas and Louisiana. However, courts have consistently ruled in favor of the policy, citing the importance of keeping families together and the need for a more humane approach to immigration.
Despite the legal challenges, the parole in place policy remains in effect, allowing undocumented immigrants to stay in the country while they navigate the complex legal process of obtaining legal status. Supporters of the policy argue that it is a necessary step towards comprehensive immigration reform and a more compassionate approach to immigration enforcement.
As the legal battle continues, it remains to be seen how the courts will ultimately rule on the parole in place policy and its impact on undocumented immigrants and their families.
