A federal judge said he will temporarily block the Biden administration from ending the Title 42 policy that expels migrants from U.S. borders in order to avoid the spread of COVID-19.
The Biden administration is eager to lift the Trump-era policy while simultaneously considering a challenge to a recent ruling that barred transportation mask mandates.
The CDC had announced its intention to lift Title 42 on May 23.
In a ruling on the lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays of Louisiana said in a notice on Monday that he will grant a temporary restraining order blocking the end of Title 42.
The CDC has argued that Title 42 is "No longer necessary" after "Considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19.".
"Republicans, as well as a handful of moderate Democrats, praised the ruling in hopes it will ward off a catastrophic migrant surge. In a lawsuit originally filed by Missouri, Louisiana, and Arizona, our Office just obtained a temporary restraining order to keep Title 42 in place. This is a huge victory for border security, but the fight continues on," Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt wrote in a tweet.
