Pentagon fails audit - Lab-grown meat progress - Border policy overturned

Source: Texas Tribune

1. Summary
   Title 42 is a decades-old public health law that was implemented by President Trump during the start of the Covid-19 pandemic to quickly expel migrants from the border. Migrant expulsions under Title 42 bypass the steps in traditional expulsions, such as deportation hearings.
   
   In his ruling, U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan said that the public health justification for Title 42 expulsions was weak, as millions have crossed the border since the use of Title 42 began in 2020. He agreed to the Biden administration's request for a five-week hold on the court's order with "great reluctance." Administration officials requested the time to prepare for a potentially large surge in illegal migration from the policy's end.
   
   The Biden administration has also relied on Title 42 powers at the border, but earlier this year attempted to end the policy. Republican states sued to preserve the policy, and a federal judge agreed with the states in May. Tuesday's ruling renders the May ruling moot, as Judge Sullivan rejected the original basis for the expulsions.
