A Miami federal judge on Monday dismissed a lawsuit seeking to stop immigration officials from deporting undocumented parents of U.S.-born children.
U.S. District Judge Paul Huck threw out the suit after the lawyers who filed it in October said legislation pending in Congress could meet their goals.
The bill they referred to is the Child Citizen Protection Act, which was introduced in the House of Representatives in January. It would allow immigration judges to consider whether deportation of a parent is "clearly against the best interests of a U.S. citizen child."
More than 3 million children born in the United States have parents who are undocumented immigrants, according to researchers at the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Institute.
