The Supreme Court ruled that Title 42 must remain in place until the case is heard.
The court’s ruling comes in response to an emergency request filed by 19 Republican state attorneys general asking to maintain the policy, which was scheduled to expire this week.
Neil Gorsuch and the liberal justices sided against the order. Justice Gorsuch said the border crisis is not a COVID crisis.
“And courts should not be in the business of perpetuating administrative edicts designed for one emergency only because elected officials have failed to address a different emergency,” he wrote. “We are a court of law, not policymakers of last resort.”
Oral arguments will take place in February, and a decision will be made in June. Biden could ignore the ruling, but he hasn’t suggested he would.
Title 42 is the only border restriction left.
AZ: 400+ migrants crossed into Yuma this morning—The ones I talked to say they are from Moldova, Russia & Cuba. One Moldovan man told us he took an Uber from Tijuana to this drop off point. He says he was told that “the border is open.”

The Issue is that the Federal Government is Derelict in Enforcing Article 4, Section 4 of the Constitution. The Court should be ruling that the States have the right to repel an invasion when the Federal Government is Derelict in performing that duty.
The Federal Government has no right to give Illegal Aliens any Status when they invade the country. They should have their biological data gathered, be automatically Deported never to be allowed in the United States again, bused back to the Border, and Shot if they return after being Deported.
Does it really matter at this point? As they pour in by the thousands. It appears No one can or will stop them.
Gorsuch seems to use proper legal reasoning, but this is the bleak future of the USA at stake. Five other justices were worried about delivering the final death blow to the USA.
Americans can be treated repressively with ridiculous covid restrictions, but the invaders should have no such restrictions? They should just flow in regardless of laws or the damage being done? The USA is an awful nation to treat its own people like this.
