⮞ US Supreme Court Keeps Pandemic-era 'Title 42' Border Policy in Place ⮜

Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. on Monday temporarily left in place a pandemic-era policy that allows the government to quickly expel millions of migrants from U.S. borders and had been set to expire Wednesday.

Roberts’s brief order was an “administrative stay” that allows the court to consider an emergency application from Republican state officials who want the Title 42 policy to remain while litigation continues.

The action follows a ruling by a federal appeals court in Washington on Friday that paved the way for the Biden administration to terminate the policy on Wednesday, and to once again allow migrants who cross the southern border illegally to seek asylum without the risk of being expelled.

Roberts, who reviews emergency requests from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, gave the Department of Homeland Security and immigrant advocates until 5 p.m. Tuesday to respond to the request from Republican state officials, which was submitted on Monday. The call for responses typically means that the full court will be involved in deciding the matter.

More than 2.4 million people have been expelled, mostly from the southern border, since the Trump administration first imposed the emergency order in March 2020, saying it was intended to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“Getting rid of Title 42 will recklessly and needlessly endanger more Americans and migrants by exacerbating the catastrophe that is occurring at our southern border,” Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich (R) said in a statement announcing the emergency request to the Supreme Court.........continued

Biden apoplectic!!

Illegal crossings must be stopped.......Americans have a Right to Stand their Ground & Defend the Border.....Using whatever means available.

Unbelievable!  It should be satire but it's real.
