Justices Order Keeping Immigration Limits

The Supreme Court ordered the Biden administration to keep the U.S. immigration limits that were imposed at beginning of Covid-19 pandemic in place indefinitely, the AP reports.

“Under the restrictions, officials have expelled asylum-seekers inside the United States 2.5 million times and turned away most people who requested asylum at the border on grounds of preventing the spread of Covid-19. The restrictions are often referred to as Title 42 in reference to a 1944 public health law.”

Justice Neil Gorsuch joining the three more liberal Justices in dissent in a 5-4 ruling.
