The Biden administration will allow certain spouses of U.S. citizens without legal status to apply for permanent residency and eventually citizenship.

Members of the House Freedom Caucus on Wednesday proposed a five bill package on immigration. The legislation includes making it a state level offense to be in Michigan without official legal status.
