Supreme Court Pauses Expiration of Title 42 | NTD

The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to pause the expiration of Title 42 after 19 states filed an emergency application for a stay.

Chief Justice John Roberts has temporarily stayed a lower court s decision that would lift Title 42 on Wednesday. He called for an administrative stay that puts the order on hold while the justices consider the multistate request.

Earlier on Monday, Arizona, Louisiana, Texas, and 16 other GOP-led filed an emergency application urging the SCOTUS to reverse the lower court s decision to strike down Title 42.

Getting rid of Title 42 will recklessly and needlessly endanger more Americans and migrants by exacerbating the catastrophe that is occurring at our southern border, Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a news release. Unlawful crossings are estimated to surge from 7,000 per day to as many as 18,000.

On Nov. 16, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington, D.C., struck down the policy that allows immigration officials to quickly expel migrants who enter the U.S. during a public health emergency. Sullivan was appointed to serve as a federal judge by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

This certainly seems like the right decision from a practical point of view, but why on earth is the Court called to make this decision instead of the thousands of bureaucrats in charge of our border? Somebody’s not doing their job, or being allowed to do it.
