A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Biden administration
from ending the Title 42 public health order on May 23 -- stopping the administration from a move that had seen significant Republican and
Democratic opposition amid fears it would exacerbate the border crisis.

Judge Robert Summerhays, in the Western District of Louisiana, granted
a preliminary injunction on the Biden administration’s plan to end the
order on May 23. It was in response to a lawsuit by two dozen
Republican states, led by Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri.

"Today’s ruling is a significant win as Title 42 is one of the few
policies that is actually working," said Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich. "I’m grateful to the court for upholding the rule of law and helping maintain some level of sanity as we continue to battle the
Biden-made border crisis."

Cut!

"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 catastrophe," the complaint read.


Summerhays, in his order, said that the record supports the states'
position "that the Termination Order will result in increased border
crossings and that, based on the government's estimates, the increase
may be as high as three-fold." He also agreed with states that lifting
Title 42 will increase costs on healthcare and education – and said the government did not dispute that claim.

"In sum, the Plaintiff States have demonstrated that the Termination
Order will affect their ‘quasi-sovereign’ interests based on its impact
on their healthcare systems and their interest in the health and
welfare of their citizens," he said.

The judge also agreed with the states that the lifting of Title 42 was
subject to the APA, and that the government did not overcome "the
presumption of reviewability under the APA."

I posted an article the other day about the White House warning of a 100 million new cases of the virus this Fall.

So why does Biden want to lift the Title 42 public health order?

It makes me wonder if there is one person in the US that thinks Biden
is doing the right thing.
