NEW: Federal judge says he intends to temporarily block the Biden administration from lifting the coronavirus border restriction known as Title 42.
Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced this month that the administration would lift the Title 42 restrictions on May 23, allowing families and single adult asylum-seekers who had been turned away at the U.S.-Mexico border during the pandemic to enter the U.S. and make asylum claims.The lawsuit in question was originally filed by Missouri, Louisiana, and Arizona in the U.S. District Court in Louisiana earlier this month.
The lawsuit is against the Biden administration winding down Title 42 “before its May 23 effective date.” It’s not clear whether the judge’s order, when he eventually publishes it, will stop the Biden administration from lifting Title 42 on May 23 or just prevent the administration from acting before its planned deadline. The parties in the case are scheduled to confer on the specifics in an attempt to reach consensus.
After meeting with President Joe Biden at the White House on Monday, members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus blasted the temporary restraining order. Before the judge's announcement, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the Biden administration intended to move ahead with implementation, citing a"multipart strategy that Secretary Mayorkas has been leading and overseeing for the past several months."
