Federal Judge Bars Biden Administration's Use of Trump-Era Rule to Fast-Track Deportations
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A federal judge in Washington, D.C., has blocked the Biden
administration from enforcing Title 42 - a Trump-era policy that allows
immigration authorities to expel asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico
border without due process, citing the pandemic as justification. The
court's order takes effect in 14 days. It's a landmark victory for the
American Civil Liberties Union and several immigrant rights groups who
condemned Title 42 as "cruel and lawless."
