Title 42 will not end on December 21st as initially planned.
According to a report from The New York Post, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court John Roberts has temporarily halted the lifting of Title 42, the Trump-era health program that allowed the Border Patrol to turn away migrants at the border.
From The New York Post:
Roberts gave the Department of Homeland Security until 5 p.m. Tuesday to respond to the appeal by 19 Republican attorneys general and stayed a federal court ruling from last month that ordered the program wrapped up on Dec. 21.
Once the administration’s response is filed, Roberts can deny the states’ application on his own, or — more likely — refer the matter to the full court for consideration.
Title 42, established at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, allows border officials to automatically refuse entry to migrants who may have been infected by the deadly virus.
Under the policy, law enforcement officials have removed approximately 2.5 million illegal border-crossers apprehended at the US-Mexico frontier, according to government statistics.
…
Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, among the state officials filing the emergency application, said lifting Title 42 will worsen the “catastrophe” that already exists at the border.
“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,” Brnovich said in a statement. “Unlawful crossings are estimated to surge from 7,000 per day to as many as 18,000.”
