A federal appeals court on Friday rejected an effort by 19 Republican states to keep in place the Title 42 border policy.

The ruling from the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals means the policy is expected to end on Dec. 21 unless further appeals are filed by then. The states are expected to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
