The Supreme Court issued a new order on Feb. 21 suggesting that it’s moving forward with a case about the Title 42 policy that allows the rapid expulsion of illegal aliens crossing the U.S.–Mexico border after it abruptly canceled a hearing in the case days ago.

The Biden administration had asked the court to drop the case, arguing that it was moot because President Joe Biden’s Office of Management and Budget said in a Jan. 30 statement that it would extend the soon-to-expire pandemic-era emergencies to May 11 “and then end both emergencies on that date.”
