With Title 42 - the Trump-er border policy, set to expire on
Wednesday, and numerous border towns panicking ahead of what is
expected to be an even greater influx of immigrants at the southern
border than is already being experienced, Chief Justice John Roberts
temporarily blocked the scheduled ending while the US Supreme Court
considers a bid by Republican state officials to keep the rules in
place during a legal fight.

Title 42, a pandemic-related public-health measure allowing migrants
to be quickly expelled back to Mexico after crossing the border
illegally, is believed to have acted as a deterrent for some migrants
seeking asylum because they could be turned back even if they asked
for protection.

As JustTheNews reports, an estimated 2.5 million migrants have been
removed under the order since its implementation.

Meanwhile, border officials have had to combat already record-high
migration numbers, with 2.4 million migrants crossing in fiscal year
2022 alone and roughly 4 million doing so since President Joe Biden
took office in January of 2021. Those figures are expected to rise
further should the Title 42 border enforcement mechanic render
authorities unable to swiftly remove border crossers.

As The Wall Street Journal reports, Chief Justice Roberts, who
oversees emergency matters from the District of Columbia, gave the
Biden administration until 5 p.m. Tuesday to file its legal response.

The temporary order is to remain in effect until the court decides the
emergency request, led by the Republican attorneys general of Arizona
and Louisiana.

The order doesn’t indicate the court’s view of the legal issues, but
the court’s conservative majority has in other cases issued emergency
orders that blocked Biden administration priorities.
