So far, more than 2 million migrants have been deported under Title 42. Most of the deportations have occurred at the border with Mexico.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention order on Title 42 says the policy should end when the declaration of a public health emergency from the pandemic expires.
The Biden administration has said the emergency will end on May 11. The DOJ argued to the Supreme Court that the decision renders moot the case seeking to maintain Title 42.
A federal judge, who was hearing a lawsuit filed by asylum seekers, ruled last fall that Title 42 violated federal law because it was “arbitrary and capricious.”
The GOP attorneys general then sought to intervene in the case to defend the policy. The Supreme Court in December said Title 42 had to remain in place as it considered whether the states had the legal standing to intervene in the case.
