Judge temporarily blocks Biden’s rescission of Title 42

A federal judge in Louisiana says he intends to block the Biden administration’s plans for rescinding Title 42, siding with GOP-led states who had asked for the courts to force the White House to temporarily retain the pandemic-era border policy.
The decision from Judge Robert R. Summerhays, an appointee of former President Trump, will prevent the Biden administration from carrying out its plans to end Title 42 on May 23 and once again allow migrants to seek asylum.
The order, though temporary, is a victory in a suit initially filed by Louisiana, Missouri and Arizona, which now includes some 20 GOP-led states.
It’s not yet clear what the terms of the order will be, as a summary of the hearing–which was not open to the public–said “the parties will confer regarding the specific terms to be contained in the Temporary Restraining Order and attempt to reach agreement.”
