Texas requires that the Biden Government apply Title 42 without exceptions that allows the expulsion of undocumented persons
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton assured that he is moving forward with the lawsuit that requires the Government of President Joe Biden continue to apply Title 42 , which allows the immediate expulsion of undocumented persons for reasons of the health emergency.
In a statement Paxton said that it asked the federal district court in Fort Worth, Texas, which is handling the case, to impose an injunction on the Government of Joe Biden to stop applying exceptions to the Title 42.
The prosecutor assures that Biden “abandoned significant portions of the Title 42 , resulting in an explosion of illegal immigration at the border and a exponential increase in the costs that Texans must bear and n public resources. ”
Title 42 allows immediate expulsion of undocumented immigrants due to the COVID pandemic – 19. The measure was established in March last year by the Donald Trump Administration (2017 – 2021) citing a provision of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) .
Last November a court forced the Government to exclude from the application of the Title 42 to undocumented minors who entered the country alone, following a lawsuit by immigrants’ advocates.
Title 42 continues to be applied and more than 112, 000 of the 180, 034 migrants detained last May were expelled to Mexico under this measure.
The White House will give a determination at the end of July on what will happen with the application of this rule, amid calls from immigrant advocates to terminate its application.
In its initial motion, Paxton requested that the federal government be ordered to enforce Title 034, claiming that Washington has not “detained and quarantined all foreigners who arrive and could carry a disease of relevance to public health. ”
In a hearing held this Tuesday, Paxton urged the cut to “intervene to stop this madness.”
He added that “when faithfully enforced, the Title 42 was extraordinarily successful in expelling illegal aliens, protecting the public health of Americans, and preserving limited public resources. ”
Paxton has sued the Biden Administration on behalf of the State of Texas 11 times since the inauguration day of the now president on 20 of January of 2021. Five of those lawsuits are related with immigration.
