Texas, Arizona and 17 other states ask SCOTUS for stay in eliminating Title 42 border protocol
(Worthy News) – Nineteen states joined an application to the Supreme Court this week, requesting the expiration of Title 42 be put on hold until a higher court can review the decision made by the U.S. District Court of the District of Columbia to allow its sunsetting.
A court ordered the Biden administration to stop using authority under Title 42 – a public health order that has been used since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to return migrants to Mexico – after it was found to be unlawful.
The nineteen states seeking a stay order from the SCOTUS are Arizona, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama, Alaska, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Tennessee, Utah, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wyoming. [ Source: Fox News (Read More…) ]
Supreme Court delays end of Title 42 immigration rule
The Supreme Court on Monday delayed the termination of the Title 42 immigration rule that was set to expire this week.
Chief Justice John Roberts issued the temporary hold in response to an appeal from Republican-led states seeking to keep the order in place, according to NBC News. Roberts gave the Department of Homeland Security, which had sought to end the order, until 5 p.m. on Tuesday to respond to the Republican appeal, per the New York Post.
An appeals court had previously rejected the bid from 19 Republican states to halt the order imposed by U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in mid-November, paving the way for the order’s termination. [ Source: Just the News (Read More…) ]
