Beginning in April, after the Biden administration announced plans to terminate the controversial Trump-era immigration policy known as Title 42, immigration attorney Lindsay Toczylowski spent weeks telling migrants that they would finally get a fair shot at asylum.

“We had been telling them that May 23 was the day when hope was on the horizon,” Toczylowski said. “It was the day that the racist and xenophobic Title 42 policy was set to be lifted.”

But instead the day dawned with another unfulfilled Biden promise on immigration policy. A federal judge in Louisiana appointed by former President Donald Trump blocked Biden’s order.

Ruling in a case brought by Texas and Arizona, the judge said the administration failed to go through the required notice and comment process before terminating the policy.

SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — The California Welcoming Task Force, made up of a number of migrant advocacy groups from both sides of the border, expressed disappointment with Title 42 remaining in place.

For more than two years, Title 42 has prevented people from seeking asylum at the border.

The order was set to expire Monday, but a preliminary injunction issued by a federal district court judge in Louisiana prevented Title 42 from going away.

During a demonstration on Monday near the San Ysidro Port of Entry to state, CWTF and the others said Title 42 will “continue to cause pain and suffering to people seeking safety at our southern border.”

“At a time when humanitarian needs are increasing due to escalating crisis around the world, thousands of vulnerable migrants continue to wrongfully be

Migrants who ​traveled to the United States border seeking asylum have lashed out at the Biden administration after a federal judge ordered that the Title 42 health policy be extended — and many frustrated by the long wait have decided to risk crossing the Rio Grande into Texas, according to reports. ​

“First they said they were going to open the border to asylum claims, then they said they weren’t,” Max Alexander Gonter, 24, ​told Reuters while sitting in a migrant shelter in Monterrey.

Gonter ​​told the wire service he has spent nearly two years waiting in Mexico to seek asylum after fleeing poverty and violence in his native Honduras.

“I can’t stand this anymore, I’m exhausted,” he said.

T​he Trump administration in 2020 adopted the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s ​Title 42 policy that allowed immigration officials to immediately deport illegal immigrants to Mexico without first hearing their

Title 42, the controversial emergency public health order which has successfully expelled migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border for the last two years, is going to stay put — for now. 

The order, launched by the Trump administration at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, has continued throughout Biden’s presidency, despite his administration’s intentions and efforts to end it. 

Early last month, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced that Title 42 would be over on May 23.

But on Friday, May 20, a Louisiana federal judge blocked the Biden administration from doing so. District Judge Robert R. Summerhays, who was appointed by Trump, ruled that the Biden administration violated administrative law in April when it announced its plan to end its use of the policy.

A  legal battle is already underway. The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) quickly filed an appeal on Friday with the 5th U.S Circuit

WASHINGTON – Supporters of Title 42, the pandemic-era health regulation used to turn away migrants at the border, welcomed the court ruling that blocked a Biden administration plan to pull the plug on the program Monday.

But migration advocates said the Friday ruling by a federal district judge in Louisiana will only prolong a “counterproductive” rule that has been an “outright failure” as a border policy.

“It is quite terrible as an immigration policy,” said Aaron Reichlin-Melnick of the American
