A federal judge in Florida ordered the government of the president of USAPresident Joe Biden to temporarily halt a measure that would allow the release of certain undocumented immigrants entering the border while they await processing.
The ruling responds to a lawsuit by the Florida government alleging that authorities were ignoring a federal law that requires immigrants who enter the country illegally to be detained.
Judge kent wetherell blocked for at least two weeks that emergency measure from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that would allow migrants in custody to be granted parole without having to appear before judicial authorities.

The blockade follows a Border Patrol memo that calls for allowing immigrants to enter the United States for parole, which is usually reserved for cases where Customs and Border Protection (CBP) facing problems of overcrowding.
The Biden administration had argued that parole may be a necessary alternative and that an order restricting parole risked causing chaos and endangering border security and border officials.
