BREAKING: U.S. federal judge blocks Biden admin from repealing Title 42
A federal judge of the United States Supreme Court has blocked the Biden administration from ending Title 42 on Monday, May 23.
The Washington Examiner reports that U.S. District Court Judge Robert Summerhays of the Western District of Louisiana has blocked the Biden administration from ending Title 42.
The policy implemented during the Trump administration would have border patrol units expel illegal migrants from the United States after initial processing due to health concerns relating to the coronavirus pandemic.
There have been negative responses from multiple congressmen, border patrol units and NGOs stating that the repeal of Title 42 will make the border crisis worse due to an increase in illegal crossings.
