A lawsuit filed in federal court on April 4 is seeking to compel federal officials to keep a pandemic-era order in place to help manage the crisis at the U.S.–Mexico border.

If the Biden administration is allowed to rescind the Title 42 order next month, it will lead to a spike in illegal immigrants flooding across the border, according to the new suit.
