Supreme Court allows Trump-era border policy to remain for now – By Stef W. Kight (Axios) / Dec 27, 2022
The Supreme Court is forcing the Biden administration to continue the controversial, pandemic-era border policy called Title 42, while legal challenges unfold, according to a Tuesday order.
Why it matters: The expected Dec. 21 expiration of the policy — which has cited the pandemic to allow border officials to rapidly expel migrants and asylum seekers at the border for more than 2.5 years — was delayed after the Supreme Court intervened at the request of Republican challengers.
- Migrants have been denied access to the asylum process more than 2.4 million times under the order, according to Department of Homeland Security data.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) implemented the policy during the Trump administration to block migrants from coming to the U.S. as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
