Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily blocked a lower court ruling that required the Biden administration to let the public health order expire on Wednesday.
FILE - Migrants wait to get into a U.S. government bus after crossing the border from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, to El Paso, Texas, Monday, Dec. 12, 2022. The mayor of the Texas border city declared a state of emergency Saturday, Dec. 17 over concerns about the community's ability to handle an anticipated influx of migrants across the Southern border.
The White House said it has dispatched 23,000 Border Patrol agents and 1,000 processing coordinators to the southern border, added new ground detection systems and automated surveillance towers. The Border Patrol has also stood up 10 soft-sided facilities to hold migrants in anticipation of the end of Title 42.
The White House has also asked Congress for $3.5 billion to add 300 more agents, scale up air and ground transportation to move migrants from border cities, and send more support to cities such as El Paso, where the mayor declared a state of emergency over the weekend. Senior U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who ordered the end of Title 42 after finding the government’s suspension of asylum laws under the health code “arbitrary and capricious,” wrote in his ruling last month that the government had not shown that the risk of migrants spreading COVID-19 was “a real problem,” as Abbott warned.
