A federal judge on Thursday ruled against the Biden administration and said it cannot use the Trump-era rule to expel illegal immigrant families with children who were taken into custody at the border under a public health order.
Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District of Columbia District Court ruled that the federal government has enough power to use measures to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Last year, former President Donald Trump’s administration utilized the Title 42 rule to expel certain illegal aliens as a pandemic containment measure, which the Biden administration kept intact.
