Migrants cross the Rio Grande river and US-Mexico border into El Paso, Texas as seen from Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua state, Mexico on Monday, Dec. 19, 2022. The Supreme Court temporarily blocked the Biden administration from ending Title 42, a pandemic-era policy of rapidly expelling migrants caught at the U.S.-Mexico border, according to The Associated Press. The court is leaving open the prospect of lifting the restrictions by Wednesday.
The Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for enforcing border security, acknowledged Roberts’ order — and said before the court ruling the agency would continue “preparations to manage the border in a safe, orderly, and humane way when the Title 42 public health order lifts.” Texas said Monday that it was sending 400 National Guard personnel to El Paso, after city officials declared a state of emergency. Leeser said the declaration was aimed largely at protecting vulnerable migrants, while the deployment included forces used to “repel and turn-back illegal immigrants,” according to a Texas National Guard statement.
The Rev. Michael Gallagher, a priest at Sacred Heart Church in downtown El Paso, said local faith leaders have been trying to pool resources and open up empty space. On Tuesday, a gym at the church gave shelter to 200 migrants — mostly women and children.
