A group of undocumented immigrants and their families is seeking to intervene in federal court to defend a new Biden administration program from a lawsuit by 16 Republican -led states.

The program offers a form of legal relief known as “parole in place” to an estimated half-million undocumented spouses of U.S. citizens.

The Republican states, led by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton , filed a lawsuit Friday seeking to end the program.

Justice Action Center plans to challenge states' claim that they will suffer harm as a result of the program.

The group successfully pursued a similar legal strategy when it intervened to defend a different Biden administration program that offers parole to certain immigrants from Cuba , Haiti , Nicaragua and Venezuela .

The question of whether undocumented immigrants produce a net fiscal cost or benefit is controversial.
