A U.S. federal judge has blocked the Biden administration from continuing to enforce the Trump-era Title 42 policy to expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border without due process.
Washington, November 16 (RHC)-- A U.S. federal judge has blocked the Biden administration from continuing to enforce the Trump-era Title 42 policy to expel migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border without due process.
More than two million migrants have been expelled to Mexico since Title 42 was first enacted in March 2020.
Biden officials repeatedly extended the policy even as migrants and advocates denounced deadly conditions and human rights violations against the migrants. The new ruling stemmed from a lawsuit filed by the ACLU, the American Civil Liberties Union.
In related news, immigrant rights activists in Philadelphia are prepared to welcome a group of asylum seekers arriving on the latest bus sent by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott to sanctuary cities.
Texas has spent some $20 million to bus over 13,200 asylum seekers to Democratic-led cities like Chicago and New York, with Abbott raising $400,000 in private donations to pay for his anti-immigrant effort.
