Supreme Court Delivers Ruling on Title 42

The U.S. Supreme Court delivered its highly-anticipated ruling on whether to keep in place the border policy known as title 42 as the crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border worsens by the day.

The nation’s highest court has ruled to keep the Trump-era rule in place for now, while other legal challenges to the policy play out in other courts, Axios reported Tuesday.

“This Court’s review is warranted given the enormous national importance of this case. It is not reasonably contestable that the failure to grant a stay will cause an unprecedented calamity at the southern border,” the states wrote in their request.

Title 42 is a law giving the federal government the power to shut down the border as an emergency action. It was put in place under then-President Donald Trump in March 2020 and has prevented hundreds of thousands of migrants from seeking asylum in the U.S.

Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott warned of the coming mayhem.

“If the courts don’t intervene and put a halt of removal to the Title 42 it’s going to be total chaos. It was known from the time that Joe Biden got elected that Joe Biden supported open borders. It is known by the cartels who have sophisticated information whether or not the Biden administration is going to enforce the immigration laws or not is known across the world but most importantly, known among the cartels,” Abbott said.

“Some do come across with COVID and no one knows exactly who comes across with COVID. These people are not tested when they come across the border and so who knows how many people have COVID, who knows what other type of disease they may have. The answer is nobody knows because nobody is testing them,” the governor said.
