Three Republican-led states filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to stop President Biden from ending the pandemic border-emergency order that had helped block illegal immigrants’ path into the U.S., saying he moved too rashly.
Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri said that even the administration expects to see a massive surge of illegal immigrants rushing to take advantage of relaxed COVID-19 rules.
The states also said it’s illogical for Mr. Biden to decide that the pandemic has eased enough to end the COVID rules at the border, but at the same time to maintain vaccine mandates or masking requirements for airplane passengers.
“The Title 42 Revocation thus stands as a radical outlier — seemingly the only COVID-19-based restriction the Administration sees fit to end,” said Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich, Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry and Missouri Attorney General Eric S. Schmitt.
Title 42 is the name of the authority the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention used in March 2022 to give Homeland Security the power to immediately expel illegal immigrants, without giving them a chance to make asylum claims or other demands that would lead to them being released. --->READ MORE HERE

Three GOP-led states have gone to court in a bid to stop the Biden administration from lifting the Trump-era Title 42 policy, claiming that ending the health order would cause a “self-inflicted calamity” by unleashing a surge of illegal immigration at the southern border.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday that it would end the policy allowing border officials to expel migrants who attempt to enter the US from a country where a communicable disease — such as COVID-19 — is present, effective May 23.
Title 42 was introduced in March 2020 as the Trump administration dealt with the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in the US.
“This suit challenges an imminent, man-made, self-inflicted calamity: the abrupt elimination of the only safety valve preventing this Administration’s disastrous border policies from devolving into an unmitigated chaos and catastrophe,” the GOP attorneys general of Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri wrote in the filing. --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to related stories:
