States turn to high court after an appeals court rejected a request to block the end of Title 42, a policy that allowed asylum keepers to be quickly expelled.
Immigrants seeking asylum turn themselves in to U.S. Border Patrol agents after wading across the Rio Grande to El Paso, Texas on December 18, 2022 from Ciudad Juarez, Mexico.WASHINGTON — Republican-led states on Monday asked the Supreme Court to retain a Trump-era immigration policy implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic to allow asylum seekers to be quickly turned away at the border.
The 19 states led by Arizona and Louisiana announced they have filed an emergency application at the high court after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit last week their request to intervene in the case in a bid to block a district court judge's that ordered the policy, known as Title 42, to be wound down."Getting rid of Title 42 will recklessly and needlessly endanger more Americans and migrants by exacerbating the catastrophe that is occurring at our southern border," Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said in a statement.
The states say President Joe Biden's administration had "abandoned meaningful defense" of the rule, saying it effectively engineered, with the help of lawyers challenging the policy, a ruling that would end it. As a result, the states are seeking to intervene in order to keep it in place. The appeals court said in its order last week that the states had waited too long before attempting to intervene.

But a burst of recent legal scholarship makes a deeper point, saying the current court is distinctive in a different way: It has rapidly been accumulating power at the expense of every other part of the government.
