President Joe Biden announced the program in June. The pause comes one week after DHS began accepting applications,“The claims are substantial and warrant closer consideration than the court has been able to afford to date,” Barker wrote. Several families were notified of the receipt of their applications, according to attorneys advocating for eligible families who filed a motion to intervene earlier Monday.
