Supreme Court Bars Ending Title 42, but Border Crisis Will Continue Because Biden Won’t Enforce It

The southern border will remain in a state of emergency unless and until the Biden administration gets serious about enforcing our immigration laws.

The Supreme Court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Biden administration from ending Title 42 in a 5-4 ruling. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Samuel Alito, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett, and Clarence Thomas voted to block the termination of Title 42.

Justice Neil Gorsuch notably dissented, siding with the court’s liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Title 42 is a health policy implemented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It was invoked by then-President Donald Trump, enabling the quick deportation of illegal immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The policy has been getting yanked back and forth in the courts.
