A Louisiana federal judge on Friday blocked the Biden administration’s attempt to end the Title 42 health policy that allows rapid expulsion of illegal immigrants — keeping the policy in place hours before it was set to expire.
US District Judge Robert Summerhays sided with 24 Republican state attorneys who warned of a possible surge of migrants across the US-Mexico border that would overwhelm their resources.
Summerhays wrote in a 47-page ruling issuing a nationwide injunction that the states “demonstrated harm that will result… and that, despite the impact of the order on the states, they were not able to protect their interest by participating in the notice-and-comment process mandated by the [Administrative Procedure Act].”
The Title 42 order was adopted in 2020 by the Trump administration to allow for the near-immediate deportation of suspected illegal immigrants during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fate of the policy became a point of conflict among Democrats, with more centrist party members arguing for keeping the order in place temporarily and more left-wing advocates urging its immediate repeal.
Republicans celebrated the court victory, which the Biden administration can still appeal.
“Missouri and 23 other states just obtained a preliminary injunction against the Biden Administration over their planned cancellation of Title 42, keeping the program in place,” tweeted Missouri attorney general Eric Schmitt, who helped lead the lawsuit. “Huge win for border security!”
Former White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany wrote, “Saved by a judge… again! A federal judge blocked the Biden administration from ending Title 42, a program that has expelled illegal immigrants 1.9 million times. Remember when a judge kept Biden from extending the airline mask mandate? Here we go again!”

Lets see how energetic the abominable Biden administration is in counteracting via appeal. Perhaps they are relived, with the 2022 elections drawing near.
It will be the same as with Obungo. The judge’s order will be ignored.
Good timing. Poopy Pants is out of the country
I’d go with reviled.
but I guess you meant relieved
Why did this Judge wait until the very last minute to issue this most important decision?
Don’t tell me now Judges are also waiting until the start of the weekend to ‘quietly’ render certain judgements!
“Lets see how energetic the abominable Biden administration is in counteracting via appeal....”
They opened the border a month ago. Biden has several ways already in process that bypasses this order. It is not even a bump in the road for illegals and Biden’s destruction of America.
We don’t have enough CBP to stop the 15,000 - 18,000/ DAY of criminal, illegal alien invaders coming over the border, starting next week.
If all 60-70 MILLION criminal, illegal alien invaders here now, had the same uniforms on, we’d look like an occupied country.
They do-—pants 4 sizes too large, hanging crotch down to knees....often khakis
White T-shirt
Flannel plaid shit—sometimes buttoned all the way up to top.
When did a court order that democrats disagreed with ever stop them? This ruling means nothing.
Yawn...
Like his controller, obamy, he will give the court order all the attention he feels it deserves...
Communists don’t need no stinking court opinions... Except on genocide...
Forget about stopping anyone from crossing we can’t and don’t stop anyone. The problem is holding and processing everyone who crosses, we can’t keep up as is and if it gets any worse it will be impossible to process everyone.
I saw one of those guys, at Home Depot, hiring-out for landscape work!
They’re already massing near the border, and it’ll be a tsunami when Title 42 expires, thanks to the leftist/communist/socialist/marxist/anarchist filthies.
Trust me I know, I am a Border Patrol Agent. The situation is worse than most realize.
