A U.S. judge on Nov. 16 paused his order striking down Title 42, a public health policy that enables U.S. agents to quickly expel some illegal immigrants amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, a Clinton appointee, ruled on Nov. 15 that the policy violated federal law because the agency that promulgated it “failed to adequately consider alternatives.”
