A federal judge on Tuesday struck down a Trump-era policy of rapidly expelling migrants from the border in the name of pandemic health precautions.
The order relied on a decades-old public health law known as Title 42 and was implemented by Donald Trump’s administration at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Authorities at the southern border have carried out more than 2.2 million Title 42 expulsions since it began Earlier this year.
