Texas Gov. Greg Abbott expressed alarm Sunday about a surge in crossings at the U.S.-Mexico border if a key immigration policy, Title 42, is allowed to expire this week and called on courts to step in.

Abbott said that public health concerns should prompt courts to intervene and prevent the policy from expiring. Former President Donald Trump implemented Title 42 in early 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
