Case Summary

This case concerns a challenge by 21 states to a Biden administration program allowing up to 360,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, and Nicaragua to enter and work in the U.S. for up to 2 years each year (“parole program”). On January 24, 2023, 21 states, led by Texas, filed suit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and various federal officials who lead agencies overseeing border security and immigration in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.

On January 24, 2023, 21 states, led by Texas, filed suit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and various federal officials who lead agencies overseeing border security and immigration in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas. The plaintiff states sued the United States under federal question jurisdiction for a violation of numerous statutes. Plaintiffs put forth two central claims: first, that the parole program failed to follow proper notice and comment procedures and was arbitrary and capricious under the Administrative Procedure Act. Second, that the federal government/DHS exceeded its statutory authority under the program. Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on February 14, 2023, that included more factual allegations but maintained the same legal claims. The case was assigned to/presided over by Judge Drew B. Tipton.

Represented by the various states' attorneys general, the states sought a preliminary injunction invalidating the parole program and declaratory relief in the form of declaring such a program to be unconstitutional on February 14, 2023. The states claimed that the parole granted in this situation was inconsistent with the limited bases for which parole may be granted under the Immigration and Nationality Act. The states claimed that if the program was not ended immediately then the harm to their citizens would be irreparable, varied, and only grow over time. Following the motion for the preliminary injunction, on February 17, 2023, the court notified the parties of its intent to consolidate the motion for the preliminary injunction with the court's consideration of the merits via a bench trial.

The federal government sought to have the venue of the case changed to either the Austin Division of the Western District of Texas or the District of Columbia, arguing that the case lacked a connection between plaintiffs' claims and the division and suggesting that plaintiff states had forum-shopped. According to plaintiffs, no individual in the division had successfully sought to sponsor a beneficiary under the parole program. As such, it was unlikely that a beneficiary who would cause the adverse consequences alleged by plaintiffs resided in the division. Furthermore, plaintiffs argued that the interest of justice favored transferring the case either to Austin or D.C., and if not there, to another judge within the district. The court denied the motion to transfer the case on March 10, 2023, reducing the federal government's concerns to a public perception of bias that the court failed to find compelling. 661 F.Supp.3d 683.

On March 29, 2023, seven named individuals filed a motion to intervene as defendants in the case and seeking to defend the lawfulness of the program. The states opposed their intervention, claiming it was untimely, while the federal government was silent on the matter. The court granted the motion to intervene on April 19, 2023, finding that the application was timely and wouldn't cause undue delay. Furthermore, the court recognized that plaintiffs had a different motivation for defending the program than the federal government. While the federal government supported the parole program as an enforcement measure to increase security and reduce the influx of migrants at the border, the seven individuals sought to defend the program for the benefits that it provided to their communities. The intervenors also successfully demonstrated that they were exclusively concerned with the welfare of individuals directly benefiting from the parole program, in contrast to the federal government, which must balance advocacy for individuals entering the U.S. through the parole program with the duty to protect American citizens. 2023 WL 3025080.

Plaintiff states filed both an expedited motion for leave to supplement their complaint and a motion for a temporary restraining order (TRO) on May 12, 2023. Plaintiffs wished to supplement their complaint by challenging another proposed federal program, the Parole with Conditions policy, whereby migrants, after meeting certain screening requirements and scheduling an appointment with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), would be allowed to enter the U.S. on parole for an initial grant of 60 days. In their motion for TRO, plaintiffs argued that the Parole with Conditions program was also adopted without the required procedures or consideration of the relevant facts and contradicts the law. Therefore, the states argued, the court should either stay the effective date of the program or temporarily enjoin the federal government from implementing or operating it. Plaintiffs also argued that the TRO should apply nationwide, not just in Texas or in plaintiff states. When plaintiffs filed the TRO motion, the trial had already been set for June. All defendants opposed the TRO.

On May 17, 2023, all parties, except for Florida, entered into a protective order to protect privileged documents and information while facilitating discovery.

Plaintiff’s motion for TRO was denied as moot on June 14, 2023, finding that the four-nation parole program and the Parole with Conditions program were two distinct policies. Since discovery had already closed, Judge Tipton reasoned, allowing the Plaintiff States to supplement their current pleadings with challenge of another program would cause undue delay in the case. 2023 WL 11999256.

A bench trial was held on August 24-25, 2023. On March 8, 2024, Judge Tipton issued final judgment against plaintiffs, finding that plaintiffs were unable to establish that Texas had suffered an injury and therefore that they did not have standing to maintain the suit. The court emphasized that Texas was actually spending less money following the implementation of the disputed parole program, since fewer nationals from the four countries covered by the program were entering the state. 722 F.Supp.3d 688.

In mid-March 2024, plaintiffs appealed Judge Tipton’s decision to the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. They also moved for reconsideration in the District Court on April 4, 2024. On May 29, 2024, Judge Tipton denied the motion for reconsideration, finding that Texas impermissibly used the motion to re-hash the same arguments it made on standing that the court already ruled on, thus failing to meet the necessary standard of a “manifest error” required for such motions for reconsideration. 2024 WL 2888758.

From there on, the appeal carried out in the Fifth Circuit. On January 20, 2025, President Trump issued an Executive Order directing Secretary Noem to terminate the parole program. On February 6, the Fifth Circuit stayed proceedings for 90 days to assess mootness. When DHS formally rescinded the Program on March 25, 2025, the plaintiff states moved to dismiss the appeal as moot and requested the case to be remanded to the district court with instructions to dismiss, as well as vacatur of the District Court’s orders and judgment. The intervenor plaintiffs opposed both requests.

Finding that the intervenors showed no substantive argument contesting mootness, the Fifth Circuit granted the state plaintiffs’ motion to dismiss the appeal as moot on August 1, 2025. The Court of Appeals also granted the state plaintiffs’ motion to vacate the district court’s opinions and final judgment and remanded the case to the District Court with instructions to dismiss it as moot.

On August 8, 2025, the District Court issued final judgement following the instructions of the Fifth Circuit, terminating the case.

The case is now closed.
