The state of Texas on April 22 lodged a legal action against President Joe Biden’s administration, urging a federal court to postpone or block the looming end of emergency border powers.

The powers, known as Title 42, were imposed during the Trump administration and repeatedly extended. They allow immigration enforcement agencies to quickly expel many illegal immigrants because of concerns the immigrants carry the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, which causes COVID-19.
