Supreme Court Grants Last-Ditch Effort to Block Biden Admin From Ending Title 42, Keeps Policy in Place For Now

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts today granted a last-ditch effort to block the Biden administration from ending the Trump-era Title 42 policy.

The move by Roberts keeps the policy, which was scheduled to terminate on Wednesday, in place for now.

Fox News’ Shannon Bream reported that the move is purely administrative, not based on merits and that the Biden DOJ has until 5 p.m. Tuesday to file a response.

Nineteen conservative states filed an emergency appeal at the Supreme Court today to block a lower court ruling.

In a ruling last month, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington vacated the policy and gave the Biden administration until Dec. 21 to end it.

As we previously reported, in an interview that aired on ABC’s “This Week,” Texas GOP Gov. Greg Abbott predicted “total chaos” at the southern border if Title 42 is lifted.

Abbott insisted, “If the courts do not intervene and put a halt to the removal of Title 42, it’s going to be total chaos.”

During the segment, ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt called the Republican position on Title 42 “hypocritical” and that they “want to close the border.”

Co-anchor Martha Raddatz then editorialized that “closing the border is not working, despite fences, walls, and thousands of armed national guard, they keep coming.”
