News Weekend pushed President Biden’s “Keeping Families Together” plan, which would stay deportations and streamline the acquiring of citizenship for spouses of U.S. citizens who are in the country illegally, a plan currently on hold while being challenged by Republicans in federal court.
Back in June, Laura Barron-Lopez, PBS’s most partisan reporter, broke the story that Biden was going to announce protections for some “undocumented immigrants” (i.e. illegal immigrants). She was unhappy when a judge paused the program in late August, claiming that “it creates a lot of fear, depression and anxiety for undocumented migrants.”
