   A federal judge on Friday temporarily blocked the Biden administration   
   from ending the Title 42 public health order on May 23 -- stopping the   
   administration from a move that had seen significant Republican and   
   Democratic opposition amid fears it would exacerbate the border crisis.   
      
   Judge Robert Summerhays, in the Western District of Louisiana, granted   
   a preliminary injunction on the Biden administration’s plan to end the   
   order on May 23. It was in response to a lawsuit by two dozen   
   Republican states, led by Arizona, Louisiana and Missouri.   
      
   "Today’s ruling is a significant win as Title 42 is one of the few   
   policies that is actually working," said Arizona Attorney General Mark   
   Brnovich. "I’m grateful to the court for upholding the rule of law and   
   helping maintain some level of sanity as we continue to battle the   
   Biden-made border crisis."   
      
   Cut!   
      
   "This suit challenges an imminent, man-made, self-inflicted calamity:   
   the abrupt elimination of the only safety valve preventing this   
   administration’s disastrous border policies from devolving into an   
   unmitigated catastrophe," the complaint read.   
      
      
   Summerhays, in his order, said that the record supports the states'   
   position "that the Termination Order will result in increased border   
   crossings and that, based on the government's estimates, the increase   
   may be as high as three-fold." He also agreed with states that lifting   
   Title 42 will increase costs on healthcare and education – and said the   
   government did not dispute that claim.   
      
   "In sum, the Plaintiff States have demonstrated that the Termination   
   Order will affect their ‘quasi-sovereign’ interests based on its impact   
   on their healthcare systems and their interest in the health and   
   welfare of their citizens," he said.   
      
   The judge also agreed with the states that the lifting of Title 42 was   
   subject to the APA, and that the government did not overcome "the   
   presumption of reviewability under the APA."

   I posted an article the other day about the White House warning of a 100   
   million new cases of the virus this Fall.   
      
   So why does Biden want to lift the Title 42 public health order?   
      
   It makes me wonder if there is one person in the US that thinks Biden   
   is doing the right thing.
