Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall
November 8, 2024 - (Montgomery, Ala.) – Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall applauds a court order dismissing the Biden-Harris Administration's "parole in place" (PIP) rule that would allow millions of illegal immigrants to circumvent the law and obtain permanent residency. The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas issued the final judgment after a 16-state coalition filed suit against the Biden-Harris Administration's unlawful rule.
"It's been a great week for America and the rule of law. The Biden-Harris regime did everything they could to circumvent or rewrite laws to fit their radical agenda, causing chaos at our border, and in our backyards. The courts and Americans saw right through these nefarious plans. Alabama is looking forward to January 20, and the bold leadership of President Trump," said Attorney General Marshall.
The unlawful PIP program would have allowed immigrants who have been unlawfully present in the United States for ten or more years to receive a grant of "parole"-without leaving the United States and attempting to come back and apply for admission at a port of entry-if the immigrant is the spouse or stepchild of a U.S. citizen.
Biden's DHS wrongfully asserted it has "unfettered discretion" into who can enter our nation without consulting Congress. Their new program would have allowed more than 1.3 million illegal immigrants already in the states to apply for permanent residency. In the complaint, the attorneys general reminded the defendants that Congress has not authorized mass amnesty to illegal immigrants.
Attorney General Marshall joined Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Wyoming, and America First Legal in filing the lawsuit.
