An appeals court is rejecting efforts to keep in place pandemic-related restrictions on immigrants seeking asylum.
REYNOSA, Mexico — An appeals court on Friday rejected efforts by conservative states to maintain Trump-era asylum restrictions on immigrants seeking asylum.
A judge last month sided with them and set Dec. 21 as the deadline for the federal government to end the practice. Conservatives states trying to keep Title 42 in place had been pushing to intervene in the case and delay the lifting of the pandemic-era restrictions. But a three-judge panel on Friday night rejected their efforts, saying the states had waited too long to try to intervene in the case.
In Reynosa, Mexico, near McAllen, Texas, nearly 300 migrants — mostly families — crammed into the Casa del Migrante, sleeping on bunk beds and even on the floor. For the many fleeing violence in Haiti, Venezuela and elsewhere, such shelters offer at least some safety from the cartels that control passage through the Rio Grande and prey on migrants.
“We don’t have enough supplies,” she said Friday, noting that donations to Team Brownsville are down.
