A judge with the Western District of Louisiana Court temporarily blocked the Biden administration from ending title 42 on May 23. The courts upheld Title 42 on March 4. The Biden Administration’s CDC officially scrapped it on March 12. Both Republicans and some Democrats are concerned that lifting it would bring a flood of illegal immigrants into the United States. A hearing is set for May 13, which will determine whether Title 42 can be lifted on May 23.
