Hundreds of migrants wait in line along the banks of the Rio Grande to seek asylum in the U.S. on Dec. 12., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that the administration will continue to apply Title 42 as required by the Supreme Court, “and individuals who attempt to enter the United States unlawfully will continue to be expelled to Mexico.” Sullivan’s ruling stems from a lawsuit filed in January 2021 by the American Civil Liberties Union and two Texas-based immigrant rights groups that argued Title 42 violated U.S. asylum laws and that the Trump administration used the pandemic as a pretext to invoke Title 42 and use it as an immigration tool.
The CDC under the Trump administration invoked Title 42 in March 2020 — at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic in the U.S. — for the first time since its creation in 1944 and said it was a necessary step to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in immigrant detention centers, where many migrants are placed after they arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border. Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, has since said that immigrants are not driving up the number of COVID-19 cases.
