A federal judge said he will temporarily block the Biden administration from ending the Title 42 policy that expels migrants from U.S. borders in order to avoid the spread of COVID-19. The Biden administration is eager to lift the Trump-era policy while simultaneously considering a challenge to a recent ruling that barred transportation mask mandates . In effect, the administration is lobbying for tougher COVID policy for American citizens while lessening restrictions for illegal immigrants.
The CDC had announced its intention to lift Title 42 on May 23. Lifting the policy is expected to lead to an unprecedented migrant surge while border officials are already recording record numbers of encounters , prompting 21 Republican-led states to file a lawsuit.
In a ruling on the lawsuit, U.S. District Judge Robert Summerhays of Louisiana said in a notice on Monday that he will grant a temporary restraining order blocking the end of Title 42. Summerhays was appointed by former President Trump.
“For the reasons stated on the record, the Court announced its intent to grant the motion,” the notice said. “The parties will confer regarding the specific terms to be contained in the Temporary Restraining Order and attempt to reach agreement.”
The CDC has argued that Title 42 is “no longer necessary” after “considering current public health conditions and an increased availability of tools to fight COVID-19.”
Republicans, as well as a handful of moderate Democrats, praised the ruling in hopes it will ward off a catastrophic migrant surge. In a lawsuit originally filed by Missouri, Louisiana, and Arizona, our Office just obtained a temporary restraining order to keep Title 42 in place.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
