Judge Plans to Temporarily Block Rescission of Title 42

Posted by: Stacey Shrader Joslin on Apr 26, 2022

A federal judge in Louisiana yesterday said he will block the Biden administration from rescinding Title 42, siding with Republican-led states that asked the courts to temporarily retain the pandemic-era border policy. The decision from Judge Robert Summerhays will prevent the president from ending Title 42 on May 23 as planned. Title 42 has been used more than 1.5 million times by the administration to rapidly expel migrants without letting them seek asylum. The Hill reports that the judge has not yet issued the order so the parties can “confer regarding the specific terms to be contained in the [order] and attempt to reach agreement.”
