(Trends Wide Spanish) — US Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts temporarily stayed on Monday the termination of a controversial Trump-era health care policy with immigration effects, known as Title 42, which was scheduled to end on December 21.
But in a brief order, signaling the court wants to act quickly, Roberts asked the Biden administration to respond by 5 p.m. Tuesday to an emergency appeal filed by several Republican-led states.
Roberts’ brief order means that the policy that allows officials to quickly remove migrants at US borders will remain in effect at least until judges decide the emergency request.
The order does not necessarily reflect the final outcome of the case.
