Federal judge blocks Biden administration from expelling migrant families via Title 42 - Fox News

A federal judge on Thursday blocked the Biden administration from expelling migrant families at the border using Trump-era Title 42 public health protections, which both Trump and Biden administrations had used to prevent the introduction of COVID-19 into the U.S.

TRUMP-ERA DHS OFFICIALS WARN OF ‘CATASTROPHIC’ RESULTS IF BIDEN ADMINISTRATION ENDS TITLE 42 BORDER EXPULSIONS .

The Biden administration has continued the order, but has not been applying it to unaccompanied children or to most migrant families.

Both the Trump and Biden administrations, even as they have differed in their application of Title 42, have said the order was necessary in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S.

But Judge Emmet Sullivan ruled that Title 42 does not give the government the power to expel migrants and has therefore blocked the order from being applied to migrant families.

The ruling comes as the Biden administration has been facing a continued surge of migrants at the border
