Supreme Court won’t hear arguments Title 42 case as planned

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court says it will not hear arguments as planned March 1 in a case involving a Trump-era immigration policy used several millions of times over the past three years to quickly turn away migrants at the border. The justices on Thursday removed from their calendar the case involving Title 42, which justified the quick expulsion of migrants on public health grounds. Republicans and even some Democrats in border states have opposed Biden’s efforts to end the Title 42 policy. The authority for that order came from Title 42 of the Public Health Service Act, which gives federal health officials extraordinary powers during a pandemic to limit transmission of an infectious disease.
