However, this decision was quickly paused by a federal appeals court, which has provided a two-week period to further scrutinize the emergency requests by the Biden Administration and immigrant rights organizations.

This ongoing legal battle highlights the deep divisions and challenges in addressing immigration policy and border security in the United States.
