Supreme Court keeps in place Trump-era immigration policy allowing asylum-seekers to be quickly turned away

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed Title 42 — a Trump-era immigration policy implemented when the pandemic broke out to quickly expel asylum-seekers at the border — to remain in effect for now, putting a judge’s ruling that would have ended it last week on hold.

The court voted 5-4 to grant an emergency request by 19 Republican state attorneys general who sought to intervene in defense of the policy. The decision puts on hold a ruling by Washington-based U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, who said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s implementation of the policy was “arbitrary and capricious.” Sullivan’s ruling was due to go into effect Dec. 21.

Conservative Justice Neil Gorsuch joined the three liberals on the court in voting against the stay request. The brief court order said that while the administration cannot set aside the Title 42 policy, the decision "does not prevent the federal government from taking any action with respect to that policy."

The Supreme Court also agreed to hear oral arguments in February and rule on whether the states can intervene, with a decision due by the end of June.

The court's intervention averts what many had predicted would be an additional surge of people seeking to enter the United States at a time when border crossings are already high. Without the policy in place, people seeking asylum would be able to enter the U.S., where they could be waiting for years for a court date if they pass their initial interview with authorities.

“Gorsuch is a “moderate”. Not reliable either way”

Trumps Souter? Souter turned into a reliable liberal vote after a year or two after Bush I nominated him. Jury is out for now on Gorsuch.

It’s amazing how often Trump wins once it gets to a “real” court. Hopefully the same happens with Keri Lake.

Someone ask the other day how it’s possible thousands can walk over a thousand miles and all show at the border with cell phones and overweight.

Perhaps asked by an observant 6th grade elementary school student.

The next question of many on the list, "Who is paying for the buses to the U.S. border and then the buses from the border to deep within our nation?"

Followed by, "Are U.S. taxpayers picking up any part of that bus tab?"

If so, "How clever, evil and ironic is that?"

Then John Roberts was conservative on this issue?

Yes because DemonCrat ruled cities are complaining about all the illegal and asylum fakers, border crossers inundating them. Democrat states are getting inundated.This is why The Supreme Court is preserving Trump's 242.

PLUS the USA is still under a Federale Covid emergency. So this justifies keeping title 242. We are the only nation that still requires Covid vaxxxes for visitors and tourists to enter. Note that most states have lifted their state Covid emergency.

Those 40,000 mostly young men massing in Mexico and on their way north are deeply saddened. Too bad!

Yep. At this point I don’t think the right can afford to try to stay on their moral high horse. The left keeps winning because they have judges that make up the laws. So it’s time the right starts doing the same thing. Let the left deal with this.

And it goes beyond judges too. Why aren’t more states investing the COVID scamdemic vax like Florida is? If Florida misses some then the other states can catch them. Plus it would be awesome watching Fauci try to defend himself and spend his money fighting about 5 to 10 states looking to put him in prison. Oh and a Presidential pardon wouldn’t save him either as it’s the states doing it!

Then don’t stop there...investigate the violations of Tech Tyrants suppressing freedom in America. Make them defend themselves and spend money in several states. And charge any Federal agent as doing illegal things is not protected by your gov’t position.

A cop isn’t allowed to steal drugs during a drug bust. And the FBI isn’t allowed to violate my rights either.

Deep State threw us what appears to be a bone.

Meanwhile, nobody will be turned away.

Betcha.

If you actually read his ruling you will find that as much as WE WANT the damn border closed, Gorsuch ruling is stating that this is NOT a Covid problem, THIS IS a border problem, ALL COVID BS should be ended!! His ruling is actually correct as far as constitutional law is concerned!! READ his ruling before calling him a liberal, DO WE WANT Covid restrictions in our lives OR NOT we can’t have it both ways PERIOD!!!

Wow, Roberts must feel secure enough to finally not worry about having Schumer blackmail him over the illegal adoption of his two Irish Free State born children.

Florida? Why hasn't Trump helped secure ANY elections in the actual swing states that he claims were stolen? As in, even tried, something? He collected $150 million in December of 2020 claiming that's what it would be for.

So true. Anyone who says this Court is Conservative doesn’t know what he/she is talking about. The Court has two staunch conservatives, three radical leftists and four wishy-wahsies (Roberts, Gorsuch, Kavenaugh and Barrett).

That only affects the ones who are stupid enough to claim asylum. Most of them just keep their heads down and keep on walking.

We can also thank Manchin and Sinema. Biden would have packed the court bank it. He had his commission and the list of names to be fast tracked ready to go.
