The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tuesday to extend a temporary stay that Chief Justice John Roberts issued last week to keep pandemicera limits on immigration in place indefinitely.
Under the court’s order, the case will be argued in February and the stay will be maintained until the justices decide the case.
Under the restrictions, officials have expelled asylum-seekers and illegal aliens inside the U.S. and turned away numerous people requesting asylum at the border to prevent the spread of COVID-19. The restrictions are often referred to as Title 42.
