Unlocking Citizenship: The Parole in Place Program
Are you an undocumented immigrant married to a U.S. Citizen? Good news! The “Parole in Place” program is here to help you legalize your status without having to leave the country. This initiative, also known as “Keeping Families Together” under the Biden Administration, provides a pathway to citizenship for qualifying immigrants.
On Monday, the Latino Civil Rights nonprofit FIEL was actively assisting eligible individuals in applying for the program. Executive Director Cesar Espinosa highlighted the significance of this opportunity, stating that it allows individuals to adjust their status within the United States, eliminating the need to seek permission for reentry from outside the country.
For many, this program represents a lifeline, offering a chance to step out of the shadows, plan for the future, and secure stability. However, amidst these positive developments, FIEL finds itself embroiled in a legal battle with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. Despite the ongoing lawsuit aimed at revoking their 501c3 status, the organization remains committed to their mission of serving the community.
Attorney General Paxton’s allegations center on FIEL’s alleged involvement in political activities, which the organization vehemently denies. While the legal proceedings unfold, FIEL continues its vital work, providing essential services to those in need.
As Espinosa emphasized, the focus remains on supporting the community and ensuring that their efforts remain uninterrupted. Although the lawsuit’s outcome is pending, FIEL’s dedication to their cause is unwavering.
