Supreme Court Hands Border States Big Win, Orders Title 42 to Remain in Place During Legal Challenge

The Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered that a COVID-19 era immigration order remain in place.

Title 42 is an order allowing border authorities to swiftly deport migrants if they hail from a country known to host a communicable disease such as COVID-19. Border officials have deported an estimated 2.5 million migrants under the order since its implementation. Many detractors of the Biden administration’s approach fear that its end could prompt an even greater surge.

“The States contend that they face an immigration crisis at the border and policymakers have failed to agree on adequate measures to address it,” the ruling reads. “The only means left to mitigate the crisis, the States suggest, is an order from this Court directing the federal government to continue its COVID-era Title 42 policies as long as possible—at the very least during the pendency of our review. Today, the Court supplies just such an order.”

Border state officials celebrated the court’s intervention. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in a Tuesday tweet, said “Today, SCOTUS handed Texas and the USA a huge victory by allowing Title 42 to remain in place after Biden illegally tried to terminate this critical policy.”

Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, meanwhile, stated that his office had “led the charge to stop Joe Biden from rescinding Title 42,” adding “[t]he safety of American families is NOT expendable to political expediency.”

“Our office has been proud to lead the charge on this important issue,” he said in a separate press release. “It’s disappointing the Biden administration is willing to sacrifice the safety of American families for political purposes.”

Chief Justice John Roberts, last week, issued an order temporarily delaying the halt of the order pending the issuance of longer-term decision from the court.

    No other Congress, or president, in history would have attempted to erase the benefits to the American People, of Title 42, except the current Congress and this president. Now that Title 42 has been protected until final Court Decision, it will probably remain the Law of the Land.
    It is good the Court decided to continue the Law, until full review is accomplished.
    President Trump was right THEN as he has been found to be right currently.
    We thank the Court, and President Trump for their insight and foresight !
