Judge blocks Biden plan to lift Trump-era restrictions on asylum seekers

Title 42, which cites the pandemic, is behind nearly 2m expulsions since March 2020

Pandemic-era restrictions on people seeking asylum on the southern border must continue, a judge ruled Friday in an order blocking the Biden administration's plan to lift them early next week.

The ruling is just the latest instance of a court derailing the president's proposed immigration policies along the US border with Mexico.
