Title 42: US Supreme Court keeps Trump-era border policy in place

Title 42 gives the government power to automatically expel undocumented migrants seeking entry, Qazet.az reports.

The potential lifting of the policy had prompted concerns that the number of migrants at the border would rise.

The Biden administration said it would comply with the ruling but called for reform of immigration policy. 

"We are advancing our preparations to manage the border in a secure, orderly, and humane way when Title 42 eventually lifts and will continue expanding legal pathways for immigration," it said in a statement.
